How to get back to Stadia home screen?

Jump to Best Response

Hey, is there no way to get back to the Stadia home screen to quit a game session?

Clicking on the Stadia icon on the game has no such option.

Right now it seems you have to close the app/ webapp entirely and restart Stadia to get to the home screen?

Hi @AtomX01,

You are right. There is no option to "suspend" the game for the 15 minutes that it saves your game state. You can either close the game or the browser right now. But if you want to switch devices you can just start the game at the other device to take over the session.

For example when I am playing on my laptop through the Chrome browser and want to continue on my TV with the Chromecast Ultra I have 2 options:

  • Shutdown Chrome bij holding ESC key and close Chrome. After this start the game on the Chromecast Ultra.
  • Start the game on the Chromecast Ultra

Both options result in the same thing. 

But maybe adding a extra option can be useful, if you want you can share your request by sending it to the Stadia Team by using the Feedback option within stadia.com or the app. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Hey @AtomX01 Maybe you've already tried this, but have you held the stadia home button down for a couple seconds? It then gives you a prompt to turn off your controller or exit the game.  When you exit the game by selection that option, it returns you straight back to the Stadia home screen without needing to exit the app and relaunch.

 

Hope this helps!!

I also forgot to mention if you're only using a keyboard, you can hold down the escape button and you'll get that exit game window to pop up.  Best of luck!

Hi @sutterdevin29,
This is an older post so we're going to go ahead and lock it now. If you still need help after trying the suggestions here, I'd recommend creating a new post so that you can get better visibility in our community.


Thank you,
