Finding games on Chromecast UI is like walking through a bog and shouldn't feel like this 2022

Jump to Best Response

Hello!

We got alot of games on Stadia at home. But I'm struggling (and my kids) to find the games I want to play when I use the Chromecast. Sure, I can stand scrolling to the right *forever* to find whatever game I want to play. But it's stealing my precious time that I rather spend playing quality games. Can't we get some filtering system or a search button to help speed things up. I actually believe I'm using up half my controller battery by just scrolling in the UI. Maybe I missed some secret that someone else knows about, I tried pressing up down left left right a a b y y x but I never found a quicker way than scrolling the day away...

@Farahot Yeah I get it. I was told the way the UI is set up in Chromecast is due to hardware imitation. If you want an easier time selecting games, you can try to pick the game from your Stadia app on your phone, then cast it to your TV.

I appreciate the solution to use a phone, I can use it but my kids won't use any workaround way. They boot the TV and Chromecast up with a controller. I don't really buy into the hardware limitation, since they released the Google TV with the exact same UI. Why would they reproduce the same hardware limitations in new hardware?

Great suggestions @Farahot! I highly suggest you copy and paste your post into the feedback section directly within Stadia so you can make sure it goes to the proper team.  If you open stadia, click on your avatar, then you'll see the option to leave feedback.  Best of luck and thanks again!
