Stadia shut down in January this year - it was a shame as I think it was great at what it did but there we are.
Google refunded any purchases from their store and handled it quite well considering, but it potentially left what is honestly one of my favourite controllers with very limited options.
Earlier this year they've developed a path to enable Bluetooth on your controller for free, so you can play wirelessly on certain Windows, MacOS
, ChromeOS & and Android devices (see below for more info) - great news
---- the below was copied from their site ----
Play wirelessly with Bluetooth
Switch your Stadia Controller to Bluetooth mode to keep gaming wirelessly on your favourite devices and services after Stadia has shut down
Switching is permanent
Once you switch your controller to Bluetooth mode, you can’t change it back to use Wi-Fi on Stadia. [SkyUK comment : does this matter as they've shut down the service?] You can still play wired with USB in Bluetooth mode.
Available until 31 December 2023
You can switch to Bluetooth mode, check the controller mode and check for Bluetooth updates until 31 Dec 2023.
