Hey there Stadians.

You might have seen one last game arrive on Stadia today. It's a humble ❤️ thanks ❤️ for playing from our team.

Find it here: https://stadia.google.com/game/worm-game

In addition, many of you have expressed the desire to enable Bluetooth on the Stadia controller. We have some good news: next week we'll be releasing a self-serve tool to enable Bluetooth connections on your Stadia Controller. We'll share details next week on how to enable this feature.

R.I.P Stadia. Man, it's sad how Google products expire so fast.

They were refunded to the original form of payment. One refund of mine was from Google store credit and it expired in like 3 days. Ended up expiring on me because I couldn't find anything to spend it on. The rest I was refunded to my credit card.

I got the refund to a card that had the number changed and it still went back on to the card correctly. Not sure where that person got their info.

Amazed for the refund in the first place, and so excited for the Bluetooth. Stadia controller will be what I play the Kingdom Hearts series as soon as I gift it to myself..

Kinda unheard of that a company is actually going the extra mile to listen to their customers O.o.

Yeah, I thought they would tone deaf and just get a perfectly controller go to E-waste

Google now allows you to convert existing Stadia controllers to bluetooth using the website in the link.

Once done, wifi connectivity to the device is removed permanently but bluetooth will allow it to connect to any PC or gaming device.

Offer expires 12/31/2023

Yes ! My new all time favorite controller for Tesla. Recently plugged in the controller and it works great. With the BT enabled soon, I will definitely keep a pair of these in the car being use wirelessly

Quote from Hawaiiana :
I remember buying into their NEXUS line of tablet. I got burned so badly with their stuff, that it took 5 years before I tried another Google product and when I did, I got their Google Pixel6. And it was riddled with so many stupid bugs. Never again.
Just think of those as ASUS tablets. They aren't really that bad, thinking back, minimal bloatware and they had Android updates longer than most smartphones.

I thought I would share this for those of you with Stadia controllers laying around.

Google finally released the ability to unlock the Bluetooth on your Stadia controllers so they will work with PC's, Android, IOS etc...

Enjoy!
