A Gift from the Stadia Team & Bluetooth Controller Functionality Info

[DanFromGoogle]

Hey there Stadians.

You might have seen one last game arrive on Stadia today. It's a humble thanks for playing from our team.

Find it here: https://stadia.google.com/game/worm-game

In addition, many of you have expressed the desire to enable Bluetooth on the Stadia controller. We have some good news: next week we'll be releasing a self-serve tool to enable Bluetooth connections on your Stadia Controller. We'll share details next week on how to enable this feature.

Thank you very much Stadia team you did an amazing work! Stadia controllers will be always there to remember us that during 3 years some Lucky people played an step forward in tech on gamig experience.

Bought the Founder's Edition and an additional controller as soon as I could back in 2019. Loved every spare minute my family and I could play Stadia. This gesture is very appreciated - I love the fact that we can now soon continue to use our controllers with  other services.

Stadia was a glimpse into the future. Thank you for enabling us that privilege.

I will gladly head to my pawn shop ASAP and repurchase my Stadia Controllers, at a Clearance price albeit.   These controllers are now finally worth it Google,  I'll thank you once I can play Xbox Game Pass using Bluetooth,  CROSSES FINGERS...

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

[MapleAgave]

We see you stadia team.

[Simba]

Thank you so much for everything 

This community has been great

[Echogate]

Wowsers! Super unexpected and stellar announcement. Thanks Stadia team!

[nstirton]

Genuinely amazing news! Still so disappointed that Stadia is gone but thrilled your excellent controllers have been given a new lease of life. Thank you! 

[Sheriff1972]

Thank you for this. Means I can keep my controllers as a reminder if a service that was ahead of its time

This is great news! I was pretty new to Stadia and only bought one of my favourite games to try it out. But it was an very interesing experience.
I just purchased one of the Stadia Controllers last month to try the authentic experience before the service shuts down. And the latency really was better using it!
The controller is very comfortable and I'm happy that I can continue using it. Might be my main PC Controller from now on.

Bluetooth support for the controllers is excellent news! 

Sad to see Stadia go. The entire family had a blast with it!

That you Stadia team! Be proud of what you achieved. There are many out there (including me) that appreciate all you did!

[devineki]

Many thanks for the Google Stadia team !

[LastSamuraj]

Vielen Dank! Das ist sehr nachhaltig!

[Nutellarlz]

At long last!  The stadia controller is honestly my favorite controller and I'm so beyond pleased with this decision.  Being completely honest, I would've continued to use it as a wired controller regardless because I'm more accustomed to the ergonomics of the stadia controller at this point, but this is such a welcomed announcement!

Thank you !! Stadia was a great service.

Thank you so much for Stadia. It was exactly what I needed and came at a time I needed it most. I will miss it quite a bit.

And thanks for releasing the Bluetooth fix. And for Worm Game. A beautiful touch.

THANK YOU GOOGLE AND STADIA TEAM!!! 

No matter what others might say, you all did an awesome thing! I'm sad that the world never fully took to Stadia in ways that would have allowed the platform to survive and thrive. But I appreciate the hard work this team put in. My family and I had a blast playing Stadia over the years and we will miss it dearly. The unlocked controllers is great! We will continue to use our stadia controllers for many years to come.

Bless you all!

I really loved Stadia and am really sad that the service is discontinued. But great to read that we will be able to go on using the Stadia controller via Bluetooth at least. Thanks so much for this! And all the best for everyone in the Stadia team! 

[ItsJustJoe]

Hate to see the service ending but it's great to see the team still giving back to the community. It was a fun journey, Stadia you will be missed. 

[Lubricator]

Thanks a lot!

I will miss the whole Stadia Experience so much. Tested alternative cloud gaming services but nothing compares to Stadia... ;-(

[WoJ]

Awesome! WOJ XInput Emulator Premium currently supports Stadia Controller with vibration and accelerator only by cable, but BT support will be added immediately as soon as it comes, and all the donators will get it for free, as any other new features.

[StingStong]

Huge respect to Google for unlocking the controllers. It would have been easier to ignore them, so thanks a lot for thinking of us.

[Vandroid]

So many Sundays chilling on the couch playing PGA on Stadia.... Sigh.

I have 2, still-sealed, all black Stadia controllers I bought on a sale as eventual replacements/expansions when my man cave is done. To not have those go to waste or sit forever in my mounting museum to yesteryear's tech is a HUGE value and unexpected surprise. 

Man I wish this platform was sticking around, but appreciate the consolation prize so much. 

Cheers

[Cordi203]

Can I buy one from you please 

[Messedupaaron]

Amazing! Thank you so much! 

[bkhsms]

Thank you Stadia team for all the work and the great platform to play games. My family will miss the service.

[Poldavo]

You are truly the best. I hope, like the Phoenix, this is not a full farewell.

[drphrozen]

Thx for everything, it was a great service .. loved and promoted it
