It is new to Pixel. Unfortunately only a few (mostly expensive) phones have display support on the USB C port. For example the more expensive Samsung phones have it.
I used to use this feature a lot on my Samsung S5. Was super handy to just carry the adapter cable in my suitcase when staying at a hotel. Easy way to watch streams in my hotel room. Almost any TV in hotels has a free HDMI port to connect to.
