Full iOS Support

Jump to Best Response

My wife got me the claw to play on my iPhone and it has been great, but utilizing the web browser is not ideal for iOS.  Is there a roadmap item to make the stadia app on iOS fully featured and support local controller support when wired in? I tried wiring in my stadia controller to the iPhone (lightning to usb c) and no luck. What does the rest of the community think?

I think many people would like that to happen. Sadly how Apple's policy is currently on the app store it wont happen soon.

I know the article is over a year old but still valid as their policies haven't changed on cloud gaming

Here is one from July of 2021 about facebook's cloud gaming system on ios

Ultimately we need to convince Apple to allow cloud gaming apps on the app store and allow them to run games in that same app instead of being individual "apps" in the app store.

Wow! My eyes have been opened. Apple really sucks right now, and to think I purchased an iPhone so I could FaceTime with my family and iMessage everyone.. might be switching back to an Android device, love my stadia, I have so many games that I have purchased and will continue playing.

Come on Stadia team, unlock the Bluetooth on the stadia controller so we can pair to our devices and game on the go for iPhone users!
