The days of Google’s venture into the recent streaming game market are numbered. The next Stadia servers will be closed on January 18 after returning for the past few weeks, returns money to its users for game and hardware purchases made on its store.
One of the collateral victims of Stadia’s shutdown was its controls, but the company promised they would free them up so they could be played via Bluetooth from other devices. wired playback limitation removed. Well we already know When can the official Stadia Controller’s Bluetooth connection be activated?.
The Stadia controller becomes a Bluetooth controller
Currently the Bluetooth connection of the Stadia controller is limited to its configuration, where for a few minutes it is temporarily linked to our mobile so that we can tell it which WiFi network it should connect to. Then the controller only lets you play by wire like a generic PC controller or via WiFi only on Stadia. By Bluetooth so far this is not possible.
this will change next week. Google has confirmed that in a few days they will launch a self-service tool to enable Bluetooth connections on your Stadia Controller. This will turn the Stadia Controller into a controller Bluetooth HIDswith which the Stadia controller can be linked via Bluetooth to any mobile phone, PC or television, Android TV and Google TV included, to be able to Play PC, Android, XCloud, or Nvidia GeForce Now games with the Stadia Wireless Controller
We also have information on Bluetooth: next week we will be releasing a self-service tool to enable Bluetooth connections on your Stadia Controller.
We’ll share the details here when released. pic.twitter.com/6vYomngfmA
