Sony TV and Stadia

I am using a Google Pixel 5 to connect my recently purchased stadia controllers to my brand new Sony Bravia 4K TV. The instructions from the stadia app say that when I connect the controller I should see the code to connect the controller on my TV because it has built-in Chromecast - but I don't. The app store for this TV does not include the stadia app. I don't understand how I'm using three brand spanking new top the line Android devices and they will not communicate with each other. The app does not recognize the TV, the TV does not recognize the controller, and the whole thing seems completely worthless. Hopefully someone can help me get this connected because I'm about to ask for a refund on all of this. I don't understand how I couldn't take this controller out of the box and instantly have everything working as it would intuitively suggest having jumped down the Google rabbit hole.

Hi @Dolefully - for now, you need to use the Chromecast Ultra to play Stadia games on TV. You can't use the built in Chromecast that comes with your TV

I'm not too sure how it was like before but as of now, 11/28/2021, I'm able to download the Stadia app from the store on my TV with built-in Chromecast (a TCL TV). I am able to link my Stadia controller to the TV and play games on it. I don't notice any significant difference in picture quality but seems like playing games on Chromecast Ultra is still smoother.
