Good morning,
I would like to know given the imminent release of Formula 1 2020 on Stadia if there are steering wheels to BE ABLE TO USE AS A CONTROLLER THROUGH A SMART TV PHILIPS THANKS.
Hi @Riccio9714
Stadia is currently only available for the Chromecast Ultra to play on a TV. There is no official support for steering wheels at the moment. Never the less, please have a look at the Stadia Reddit forum. I read often that it worked for some to play on a PC using Chrome and a steering wheel.
E.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/dvr8vu/steering_wheel_in_stadia/
For anyone interested, running Stadia on Android TV using the Stadia APK install method, the app runs well and Grid and F1 2020 are controllable with the Serafim R1+ wheel and pedals, needs tweaking in the options but does work.
If you have this controller or plan to purchase, when you connect to an Android TV do not use the Bluetooth adapter for the pedals or connect a controller to the wheel as this will cause interference on the controller, simply plug the pedals to the wheel and connect wheel to the TV via USB port. Only applies if using the Stadia app via the APK install method, will not work on the Chromecast ultra.
I'm hoping the Devs release an official version for Android TV, as I have already informed Google and the Devs that I have it installed and works well.
I'm owner of Stadia's Italian Community (unofficial), in our group one gamer have tried Thrustmaset T80 (Ferrari Edition) and work correctly on Chrome.
First of all you must download and install specified windows driver from official site: https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/t80ferrari488gtbedition-en/
Then you must download ControlStadia extension for Chrome ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/controlstadia/faodiopjdcjfeflfmeadfkgodcbioejp ). When you connect the wheel to PC you must click on extension and mapping it.
Now you can open stadia.com and wheel will be recognized automatically.
You can buy the wheel on Amazon: Thrustmaster T80 Ferrari Edition
This "guide" can work with other wheel, but if you want buy one this is only that we have tried.
