Using stadia with my cellphone and TV

Jump to Best Response

Okay so I have a couple questions I hope you all could answer for me. I use a phone that gets unlimited high speed data and that's the only internet I have at my house. What I want to do is use Stadia on my phone but then connect my phone to my TV so it's displayed on my TV. Is that possible? Idk how stadia connects to things like a phone but if it needs to plug into my phone then I don't believe I would be able to use my tv  because I would need to plug an adapter into my phone to connect to the tv so it could be displayed on there. Unless I could somehow connect either one through Bluetooth or something to that effect. Idk, just thought you all would know more than me, I've never even seen a stadia or even know how it works. My second and final question is can I access all the features on Madden and whatever other games I play? I don't mind if I have to pay $10 a month or whatever the pay to play package is but I didn't want to run into a scenario where I'm only playing like a demo of each game.

Hi @damonthomas126,

Depending on your phone, you may be able to mirror your phone's screen onto your TV but I'm not sure that would provide a great gaming experience as there would likely be some additional latency introduced in the process. A better option might be to get a Chromecast for your TV, and connect that to your phone's WiFi Hotspot feature. That said, your Stadia experience is going to be heavily influenced by your internet connection, and your phone's mobile data may not have a consistently-low-enough latency to provide smooth gameplay. You'll likely just need to do some experimenting to see what works best for you.

Your second question does have a more straightforward answer though: any games you purchase (or redeem with a Pro account) on Stadia are the full complete games You'll have access to all the content within the game (excluding any content or expansions which have to be purchased separately regardless of the platform).
