The cloud gaming services provided by Google Stadia will shortly come to an end for all users, however, this does not mean that any Stadia controllers already purchased will be useless or inoperable. It is now possible for everyone to download and set up the Bluetooth mode upgrade for Stadia controllers that the renowned internet business promised will be released last week. There is currently a button on the Stadia controller website where customers may download the Bluetooth mode capability to utilize their gaming pads with other platforms or consoles. Users must have Chrome 108 or later in order to apply this update for their controllers and continue living their life without Stadia. The Stadia controller can now be used by players across all platforms, not only those powered by Google's cloud services, as promised.
