Can I register my Founders Edition without a Smartphone?

My Phones Android Version does not seem to be compatible with the Stadia App. I wonder if I can still at leat register my Stadia Account Name somehow. Or is that the Community Name I chose on this board? If not at the moment, when will I be able to register through the Chrome Browser? I don't see myself buyng a new Smartphone any time soon. :disappointed_face: Thanks!

@Elfwyn Doesn't look like that's possible, at least right now as these are the steps to redeem the code and choose your name:

  1. On your mobile device, open the Stadia app.
  2. Enter your 16-digit code that was sent to you via email.
  3. Tap Unlock.
  4. Follow on screen instructions to create your Stadia account.

Your name here in the community is separate to the your Stadia name so don't worry about that!

I’m hoping they change this. I’d like to not always have my phone on me. Do you have a friend who can lend you a hand long enough to get it up and running?

Additionally, if you want to configure the controllers via Bluestack you will also need to have a Bluetooth controller available (as the initial setup of the controllers is performed via Bluetooth until WiFi is configured on them).

You need to setup a suitable location within Bluestack because location services are used by the Stadia app as well.

Of course if you are setting up Chromecast too, then you will also need to install the Google Home app as well.

Kudos appreciated if deserved.
