How to play normal Android Games on CCwGTV with the Stadia Controller

Jump to Best Response

Hi Community!

I have a Chromecast with Google TV and a Stadia Controller and paired them using the Stadia app. That works as intended.

But now I wanted to play Machinarium installed from the Google Play Store with that Stadia Controller and it does not work at all.

So how can I play normal Android games with the Stadia Controller? Is this even possible since it is no Bluetooth controller?

Best, dooz

Hey there!

The Stadia controller does have a Bluetooth module, but it's only used during setup. So unfortunately it is not possible at this time. It may be updated in the future to allow this, though. Just gotta believe...

I believe, I sell it since it does not cover all my use cases.

It's really annoying that you can only use third party controllers for all scenarios.

Does it not work if you simply plug it in via USB?
