Getting access to Stadia without purchase of controller?

Jump to Best Response

I have a question about getting Stadia, I was originally on the "Project Stream" playing Assassin Odyssey, and it has been a while since that has been over. I was just wondering, has it, or will it become available to use the service without needing to buy the controller. I'm a PC guy that absolutely hate controllers and will never use it. Instead of creating more e-waste, will access for those of us that don't want the controllers, be able to subscribe just to the service?

Needing to buy the controller is what is stopping me and I have not seen any official word. I'd figure it would be easy to get going, but, haven't seen anything yet.

You don’t need to buy a controller to subscribe. Just go to the website and sign up for free 1 month trial and start playing on your computer. After that either pay the monthly sub for pro and it’s perks or just continue for free and buy the games you want to play. No controller purchase is required.

You can run Stadia perfectly on your PC with a Chrome browser using the keyboard and mouse.

That is the way I started with Stadia playing Division 2. Just try a month of Pro to check it out for free. Enjoy!

That's not what I asked. I know you don't need the controller to play, we didn't have that during the beta testing on Project Stream.

Do I have to buy the controller? That is my question.

I just really want to know if I can get access to the subscription without the need to buy the controler.

Sorry I started without a controller. Thought my post made it clear I started with only a keyboard and mouse.

But as Matt1 states you dont need a controller.

Thanks, yeah, when I read that, I thought you were just saying that you played with mouse and keyboard and mentioned nothing about not buying the controller. It was just a mis communication
