Today, our friends at Nest published a blog post revealing that the first version of Stadia on Chromecast with Google TV is launching on June 23. In addition, we’re excited to announce something entirely new - you’ll also be able to play Stadia on compatible Android TV OS devices on June 23!

We’re here to share more details on what to expect while playing your favorite games on more TVs across Stadia supported regions later this month.

In a few short weeks, we’ll see millions more TVs come to life with games available to play instantly with Stadia. For this initial launch, Stadia will be officially supported on the following devices:

  • Chromecast with Google TV
  • Hisense® Android Smart TVs (U7G, U8G, U9G)
  • Nvidia® Shield TV
  • Nvidia® Shield TV Pro
  • Onn™ FHD Streaming Stick and UHD Streaming Device
  • Philips® 8215, 8505, and OLED 935/805 Series Android TVs
  • Xiaomi® MIBOX3 and MIBOX4

As for Android TV OS devices not on this list, you can opt into experimental support to play Stadia. While this feature is still in development and not every Android TV OS device will work perfectly, you can now try out Stadia and play your favorite games on more screens than ever before.

To get started, install the Stadia app from the Play Store, launch it from the “My Apps” row on your TV, and press “Continue” at the opt-in screen. Be sure to let us know how it goes - your help testing out new features makes it easier for us to get critical feedback.

When playing on your Android TV OS device, you’ll be able to use a Stadia Controller or a compatible Bluetooth controller that you might already own. Stay tuned for more info in the Stadia Help Center.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Choose from the millions of compatible Stadia devices--including laptops, desktops, tablets, TVs, and phones--to play your favorite games. For a full list of the 180+ games available now on the Stadia store, visit Stadia.com.

Keep your eyes on Stadia’s Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook for more news on upcoming games and other up-to-the-second announcements.

Ok, but sideload doesnt work for me. I have a philips tv, i have the stadia app, when i start it it works, it asks me to connect stadia controller and that works but when I then start a game i get 10/15 seconds black screen and it goes back to the home screen.

What am i doing wrong currently?

Sorry, I never had that problem on my Nvidia Shields. The only real problem I have is crosstalk between bluetooth controllers on local multiplayer games. Some things you could try...

Clear up as much memory as you can. 

Uninstall other apps that may be conflicting. 

Uninstall then reinstall Stadia. 

Search APK sites for different Stadia compiles for different devices.

Make sure your Internet connection is strong. 

Try running through a VPN, like NordVPN.

Do you know apk sites where i can find a stadia apk specific for philips tv?

The best free VPN 2021

A free VPN may sound tempting, but is it the right option for you?

People complaining about LG not being supported can't they just acess stadia through web browser?

 

LG has excellent browser support. Their os is litterly mostly browser apps based and runs on chromium.

Have i missed something here? Or have i understood LG os wrong?

Need to order my chromecast TV thingy!”

why would you need chromecast after they support android tv’s? Should it not just work with your controller and android tv only?

So TVs with Android OS are supported but not TVs with Google TV OS? Am I reading that correctly?

Please make a video showing people how to install Stadia or turn on experiment mode. This will help cut down confusion for new adopters.

I believe that massive games like Warzone, Battlefield and such should be next.

Does it also include "chromecast built in"? Rather than install the app on my TV, which will no doubt have problems, it's apps don't run well. If it ran like the Ultra and just went to the web app as soon as I turn my controller on and I could remove the CCU and just use the TV, that would be great.

@StadiaTeam So I have the app installed, but it still gives me a message saying it is unavailable. Eagerly checking and rechecking today. Hopefully it comes to Canada today as well.

So has anyone got this to work?

I finally got it to work on my TV (which isn't on the supported list) 

 

And it runs.....

 

But not very well. So back to using the CC ultra for me!!

@Slymii What model is your TV? What kind of problems did the app have when playing?

Slymii

@OrionTheElder I have a Sony XH90 (or XH900 dependant on your region) 

Initally the app wouldn't start. Got the message that it wasn't available yet, but from my phone it gave the option of casting to my TV directly (my Chromecast has been unplugged for a while) 

I did this and this seemed to kick the app into play. 

I tried playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla and the gameplay was really juddery and there was heavy input lag. 

I cleared the cache and data of the TV app to try again and got more of a set up this time and the message saying this was an experiment and to expect issues. 

For comparison I also plugged back in my Chromecast and the difference is staggering! Really hope the bring some official support to this TV soon!

Stadia on GoogleTV in a *hotel* is stunningly good. Played some Borderlands 3 yesterday. There were a few occasional frame skips, and the Bluetooth headphones (I'm a courteous hotel dweller) had occasional crackles, but it was completely playable and quite fun. Tried another title too, same thing. Very well implemented.

 

On the other hand, sideloaded Xbox Game Pass games on the same device and connection sometimes run well for a couple minutes, but soon completely freeze up the video. Multiple titles tried. But this may have nothing to do with hardware performance, since Game Pass often has weird streaming issues on even the most powerful hardware and connections.

 

Also, per usual, GeForce Now ("The Council") on the same device and connection is flawless, once you get past the usual onscreen login nuisances for the game providers.

 

Some local Android TV games that install won't run, but maybe that has nothing to do with hardware performance, since games like Asphalt 8, Bomb Squad, Bard's Tale, Fractal Space 3D are flawless. The biggest problem with Android TV games is that a great many of them install most of their data to internal storage whether they claim to or not, and it cannot be moved. With Google TVs limited internal storage, you can only really install one such game at a time.

 

I've been using Nvidia Shield at home on a wired 1Gps up/down connection for some time, which is quite powerful and works well for these services. I'm frankly stunned at how good the gaming is on a tiny $50 GoogleTV in a mainstream hotel.  

 

I'm using GTV with a port expander, high speed/high capacity external SD card, 1080p TV, and Marriott wired ethernet clocking at 30/50 Mbps down/up. I know Internet in many hotels isn't this good, and 4K maybe wouldn't perform as well.

 

Great job, Google. The remote even controls the hotel TV volume/power, so I never have to touch the hotel remote. I've now relegated my travel Roku to backup.  Only improvements needed are more internal storage (or way to genuinely force apps to external storage), multiple logins, and a sliding physical power switch on the remote (so I don't have to remove the batteries for travel).

Stadia on  MIBOX4 is NOT compatible with any Xbox 360 wired or Xbox Series Bluetooth controller.
on Xbox 360 buttons are not correctly mapped, triggers won't work.
on the newest Xbox Series controller cannot be paired over Bluethooth.

So please fix MIBOX firmware or Android TV build for it, because it is not working with these 2 controllers. Basically Stadia is not compatible with Android TV when you use XBOX controllers! the info about compatibility is FALSE

On my PHILIPS 8505 it works very badly. the video quality is very bad and I often have lag even being connected via ethernet cable. On the other hand, by connecting a chromecast ultra to the same TV, everything is solved. Really crazy

@DeclaredFiber , there are only two Chromecast devices Stadia will run on. The original was the Chromecast Ultra and then later the Chromecast with Google TV.

Is anyone experiencing lags on Stadia on Chromecast with Google TV?
I'm experiencing random 5-10 seconds lags even though Google Ethernet Adapter or Chromecast is connected.

Could anyone assist on this please ?
