Google’s Stadia Controller Can Now Be Converted Into A Bluetooth Controller

Jeet — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 06:44:01 +0000

Google’s cloud game streaming service called Stadia is shutting down today, but before that, the company is allowing users to use the wireless stadia controller as a Bluetooth controller that can be connected to other devices.

Converting a Stadia controller into a Bluetooth controller is a manual process and won’t happen automatically for the users. Also, it’s an irreversible process, which means once it’s converted to a Bluetooth controller, you cannot go back.

The company has also revealed that the last date for users to make the switch for the controller is 31st December 2023. After that date, any unconverted Stadia controller will work as a wired gamepad but won’t get wireless connectivity support.

After the device has been enabled with Bluetooth mode, it can be connected to other devices by pressing the Y and Stadia buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds. When the Stadia light flashes orange, it indicates that the controller is now in pairing mode. Once it’s paired with a device, it will auto-connect to the last paired device whenever turned on.

If you are an owner of a Stadia controller, then you can visit this web-based tool to unlock Bluetooth on the device. The process is quick, simple, and easy to follow. Make sure that the device is charged at least 10 percent before you attempt to start the process and is connected to the computer using the USB port.

A few months ago, Google announced that it would shut down the Stadia cloud gaming service, and then the company refunded all the game and hardware transactions starting November 2022. Some game studios also started offering free PC copies of the games purchased through Stadia.

This update will allow the Stadia controller to connect with other devices as a standard Bluetooth controller instead of just being tied to the Stadia service. This is a welcome development for Stadia customers, as it means they will be able to continue using the controller with other devices Device after service shutdown.

Alongside this update, Google also released the last game, Worm Game, for Stadia players before the end of service. The game has been used internally for years and by the team to test Stadia’s capabilities. While it’s a neat minimal title, it works as a unique Easter egg Players experience games used to test and build services.

Overall, while the shutdown of the service is certainly disappointing, the ability to use the Stadia controller via Bluetooth is a positive development, allowing gamers to continue using the controller with other devices. Also, Worm Game’s release as a final farewell is a nice touch The touch adds to the nostalgia for the end of service.

Google Stadia hardware refunds to roll out in next two weeks

Sean — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 11:36:20 +0000

Back in September, Google had officially announced that it is ending its support for the Stadia platform. The cloud gaming technology had faced many challenges and issues, and now, the company is gearing up to offer refunds to its buyers.

The Search Engine giant had stated on September 30 that it will be ending Stadia and will even be reimbursing all Stadia users who purchased games or hardware from Google. The company said that Stadia hardware purchases made from the company’s Store as well as any Stadia Store games or add on content bought will be eligible for the refunds. So one can expect that the brand is spending a lot of money to reimburse a lot of money.

For those unaware, the company began offering software refunds at the beginning of last month and now it appears that Google will now settle up on the hardware side as well. The brand will initiate the refunds by sending out emails to its customers informing them that the refunds will be issued in the next couple of weeks. The users who purchased their hardware directly from official company store will get their money back first within the next two weeks.

As of right now, the company is offering refunds on the Founders Edition, Premiere Edition, Play and watch Google TV packages, and even the Stadia controllers as well. The Stadia users will be be able to continue playing on the platform until the date of 18th of January 2023, which is when the platform will be officially shut down.

Google to shut down Stadia game streaming service in January 2023

Jeet — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 04:48:42 +0000

Google’s one of the ambitious products of recent times, Stadia, a digital gaming service, is being shut down. The service, which was launched in 2019, will be shutting down in the coming months, on 18th January 2023 to be precise.

The announcement comes at a time when the company is looking to cut costs. One of the reasons behind this decision is believed to be the lack of traction with the users than what the company had expected.

In a blog post making the announcement, Phil Harrison, Vice President at Google, said, “We’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service.” It was launched as an opportunity to put Google’s cloud streaming technology to work and enable gameplay at a massive scale.

The company says that it will refund all Stadia hardware purchases made through the Google Store and all game and add-on content purchases at the Stadia store. The majority of the refunds will be processed by mid-January, and the players will have access to their games library to play till 18th January.

Google adds that it will continue supporting gaming in other areas, along with helping developers build and distribute games on Google Play and Play Games. The technology developed for Stadia may end up being used in other Google services.

The Stadia game streaming service was announced to compete against other gaming services, including Sony’s PlayStation Plus cloud streaming, Amazon’s Luna, and Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently announced that he wants the company to be 20 percent more efficient, and as a part of that, the Mountain View-based giant has been shutting down products. Recently, it was announced that the upcoming Pixel laptop has been canceled, and funding for Area-120 in-house incubator has been cut.

Google tests game streaming feature directly from Search results

Sean — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 11:56:32 +0000

Despite cloud gaming being announced a couple of years ago, it is still not as popular in the market as gaming on other platforms. But in a bid to make the game streaming more popular, Google is build the service right into its popular search feature itself.

Google Stadia

The news arrives from Bryant Chappel of The Nerf Report, who shared the information on Twitter. Apparently, users will soon be able to launch a game on Stadia directly from the search results. Furthermore, this feature will also support Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce Now, and Amazon Luna as well. For those enrolled in the test, simply searching for a game on one of those platform will offer a Play button in the information panel.

A good example of the games that will be offered via the search result is Destiny 2 and Halo Infinite. Clicking on the play button will either start up the game or take the users to a landing page on the different streaming platform. This feature is currently being tested with a 9To5Google report noting that the search results can show if a game has timed trial on Stadia or if it is available for free as a part of its premium subscription.

It looks like the Google search engine has a new update for cloud gaming platforms!!!

— Bryant Chappel (@BryantChappel) August 11, 2022

Video streaming services like Netflix have already had this feature where the content being searched for is just a single click away from the search results. So, it arrives as no surprise that Google also plans on bringing this function for its own cloud gaming service as well as other platforms.

Google Stadia arrives on the Chromecast with Google TV and Android TV OS devices

Habeeb Onawole — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 21:48:36 +0000

After months of waiting Google has finally brought Stadia to the Chromecast with Google TV. If you don’t have Google’s streaming stick, you can also experience the game streaming service “on officially supported Android TV OS devices”.

Google had revealed earlier this month that it was going to bring the game streaming service to its the latest Chromecast device today, thus allowing owners to play on their TV. It has kept its promise as the service is now available.

However, while the service may now be available for you, you won’t be able to play unless you have the official Stadia Controller or a compatible third-party controller. Google has revealed that some supported controllers that work via Bluetooth and USB connectivity include the PlayStation DualShock 4, the Xbox One Controller, and Xbox Adaptive Controller. The Xbox One Elite Controller and Xbox 360 Controller work only via USB. If you have a Bluetooth controller not listed, you can try it as it may also work. Unfortunately, you can’t use a keyboard and mouse to play.

The Stadia App is already listed on the Google Play Store. You can install it remotely from your PC or fire up the Play Store app on your TV to install it. You can also grab the APK from APKMirror.

The ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor is targeted at gamers

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 17:58:46 +0000

A gaming Chromebook? Yes, that is what ASUS is touting its new Chromebook Flip CM5. The new notebook, powered by AMD’s Ryzen 5 chipset, is targeted at gamers – specifically those interested in cloud-based gaming.

Priced at $499, the ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 has a 15.6-inch IPS 1080p touch screen with 250 nits of brightness and a 178° viewing angle. The screen can be bent backward, so you can use the device as a tablet or in tent mode and there is support for a USI stylus that has to be purchased separately. The ergolift hinge also lifts the keyboard for a more comfortable typing experience when in laptop mode.

The Ryzen 5 3500C processor is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of PCIe M.2 SSD storage. There is also a 4GB RAM version with an AMD Ryzen 3 3250C processor and 64GB of eMMC storage. While those specs are not quite gaming specs, they will suffice if you are streaming games from platforms such as Stadia and GeForce Now, two services the device supports.

ASUS has added some gaming aesthetics such as giving the WASD keys, power button, and volume rocker an orange accent; including a Harman Kardon audio system, and a Wi-Fi stabilizer technology that filters out interference. The chiclet keyboard is backlit but there is no mention of it being RGB which would have been a nice addition.

The Chromebook has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, an HD camera, and a battery life that goes up to 10 hours. For ports, you get 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports for display and power delivery, 1x HDMI 1.4 port, an audio jack, and a MicroSD card reader. The spec sheet also mentions that it has a Titan C Security Chip.

The laptop is already available in the US for $499.99 but that is for the 4GB RAM version with 64GB of storage.

Stadia will arrive on Android TV and Chromecast with Google TV this month

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 20:04:45 +0000

When Google announced its streaming TV stick, the Chromecast with Google TV, it was expected that it will come bundled with Stadia, its game streaming service. To everyone’s disappointment, that was not the case. More than eight months later, it has now been announced that the service is coming, not only to Google’s dongle but to a handful of Android TV devices this month.

As reported by The Verge, Stadia will arrive on the Chromecast with Google TV on June 23. There are also some Android TV devices such as the Nvidia Shield TV, Walmart’s Onn streaming devices, some Philips and Hisense TVs, and two Mi Box models. Below is the full list:

Hisense Android Smart TVs (U7G, U8G, U9G)
Nvidia Shield TV and Nvidia Shield TV Pro
Onn. FHD Streaming Stick and Onn. UHD Streaming Device
Philips 8215, 8505, and OLED 935 / 805 Series Android TVs
Xiaomi Mi Box 3 and Mi Box 4 (Mi Box S)

It is surprising that the list is pretty short but according to the press release, these are the devices that are officially supported. Owners of other devices can opt into experimental support to play, though there is a chance it may not as smoothly as on officially supported devices. To play, a Bluetooth controller or the official Stadia Controller is required.

Google Stadia is a game streaming service that allows users to play games instantly including AAA titles over an internet connection without the need for a console or a gaming PC and without needing to download the game. The service is already available on Android, PCs, and iOS devices.

Google Stadia is now available for iOS devices in beta

Habeeb Onawole — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 21:35:46 +0000

Apple has made it difficult for game streaming services to provide an iOS app for iPhone and iPad owners. The solution these streaming services have adopted is to provide access via the web browser on these devices. The latest to do so is Google Stadia as they have finally brought their services to Apple devices more than a year after launching on other platforms.

The announcement was made today on Twitter by the official Stadia account. The tweet includes a short video teaching users how to access the service and it is pretty straightforward. Below are the steps:

Launch your Safari iOS browser
Go to Stadia.com
Sign in with your Google account
Begin to play

You can add a web app shortcut to the homescreen to make it easier to access as shown in the video.

Stadia is now available on iOS devices! Yes, you read that right. Starting today, you can sign into https://t.co/AoYhdVnzGu on your Safari iOS browser and begin playing your favorite games. Try it for yourself today! pic.twitter.com/iQhoAu8NtX

Stadia on iOS works with the official Stadia Controller and also works with the DualShock 4 and Xbox One Controllers. All of these controllers connect to the iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. If you don’t have a controller, you can enable the touch gamepad feature when you launch a game.

Google’s iOS launch comes shortly after Microsoft announced that it will be bringing its Xbox cloud gaming service to PCs and iOS next year. However, Google is not the first to do it, other game streaming services such as NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW announced the service can now be accessed via the Safari browser back in November. Amazon’s Luna is also available via a web app for iPhones and iPads.

Google and Asus plan to preload Stadia on the ROG Phone 3

Sean — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 07:16:54 +0000

Last year, Google had announced its own take on the gaming world with the Stadia, an online game streaming service. Although, as hyped as the service was, the lack of many features and an unsteady launch had Stadia receive a lot of criticism. But, Google is still holding strong with constant updates and fixes and is adding more smartphones in its compatibility list, one of which is expected to be the Asus ROG Phone 3.

When Google had initially launched the Stadia platform, which was envisioned to be a cross electronic device service, it only supported the Pixel smartphones. However, since then the tech giant has announced more compatible handsets. One of the latest inclusions is with Asus’ gaming smartphone, the ROG Phone 3. The Republic of Gaming device is dedicated to mobile gaming, so it makes sense that both Asus and Google are collaborating to preload the smartphone with Stadia.

While the online game streaming service from Google is paid, a free tier is expected to be launched within the next few months. The move alongside the growing smartphone compatibility list arrives to make the service better compete with its upcoming rivals. Microsoft with its xCloud, Sony with the PlayStation Now and the one that threatens Google the most, GeForce Now from Nvidia, which is officially out of beta.

Asus ROG Phone II

With so many upcoming services, Google will have to make its online gaming platform a lot more accessible and bring in many game developers as well. Unfortunately, it is unknown when Asus ROG Phone 3 will launch, the gaming smartphone is expected to arrive before the end of 2020. Notably, ROG Phone II already supports Google’s Stadia, although it does not arrive with the service preloaded.

Google unveils Stadia Cloud Gaming Service at GDC 2019

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 23:21:21 +0000

In the weeks leading up to GDC 2019, there were rumors Google would announce a gaming console of some sort that would allow users to stream games online. Today, the tech giant announced Stadia, a cloud gaming service which is not only for gamers but also for those who like to watch others play and also those who build games.

Stadia is a cloud gaming service that doesn’t require you to purchase new hardware. All you need is the hardware you already have such as tablets and phones (Pixel), Chromecast-enabled TV, or the Chrome browser on your PC (laptop or desktop). You also don’t need to download the game you wish to play.

At the event, Google demonstrated how Stadia works using a variety of devices including a desktop PC with basic specs. Not only did the games play seamlessly on all of these devices, but you can also start playing on one device and switch to another.

Stadia works with your existing controllers. It will even work with your keyboard or mouse. Or you could just purchase Google’s own Stadia Controller which doesn’t look very different from the controllers you are used to, though it does have some unique features of its own.

The Stadia Controller connects via Wi-Fi which should make switching from one device to the other easier. It has the usual XYAB action buttons, dual joysticks, D-pad, and shoulder buttons. It also has a Google Assistant button and a capture button that allows you live-stream your game to YouTube. The controller will come in three colors but Google didn’t reveal its price.

You might be wondering how Stadia will be able to run the games on its platform. All the work is handled by Google’s data centers which pack a lot of power. Google shared the specs of the data centers and the GPU is much more powerful than that of the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro. Stadia will be able to stream at 1080p and 4K at 60fps when it launches but in the future, it will also support streaming in 8K and at up to 120fps. It will also support cross-platform play.

Stadia isn’t just for gamers but also for game developers. There are tools available for developers that will make it easy for developers to bring their design styles to games made for the platform. All developers have to do is drop an image with the preferred style and a machine learning tool applies the style all through.

There is also State Share for YouTube creators which allows them to share exact links to specifc parts of a game. Players will be able to call up the Google Assistant to get walkthroughs for games other players have completed. There is also a feature called Crowd Play which will let you play multiplayer games against your favorite content creators.

Google will create its own game studio which is called Stadia Games and Entertainment and will also partner with others to develop content for the platform. Stadia will launch later this year first in the US, and then Canada, UK, and Europe. More details will be revealed at Google I/O in May.
