For those like me wanting to experience Stadia on an iPad before the iOS app actually works, here's how you do it...
(Note: it's a bit of a hack, but works for those interested & have the necessary gear)
Prerequisites:
- A device w/ MacOS Catalina installed
- An iPad capable of Sidecar
- Sidecar set up w/ Air display
Steps:
- Open Chrome, hit https://stadia.com
- Open Chrome options (far right toolbar menu, 3 vertical dots) > "Install Stadia"
-- This makes "stadia.com" a dedicated Chrome app you can launch like a typical MacOS app
- Open Stadia.app
- Drag the app window over to your iPad display
- Connect a USB-C cable from the device running MacOS to the Stadia controller
-- note: it wasn't working for me directly connected it to the iPad, but others may have more luck - also, I haven't tried bluetooth connecting an Xbox or PS4 controller, but that will prob also work
- Start a game (it should go full screen at this point)
- On the game splash screen, use the Stadia controller to proceed (Press A, whatever)
- Enjoy all of the electric air
