    Google reveals how Stadia will be compatible with Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo controllers

      After the Ask Me Anything (AMA) that took place yesterday on Reddit, where Google employees answered some questions about the company's new console that will be released soon, the company updated its pages adding details about the compatibility of the video game with controllers. from third parties.

      In its debut, unfortunately, the only way to play on TV is using a Chromecast Ultra with the Stadia Controller. The user will be able to enjoy the games via Wi-fi, fulfilling the full potential available, connecting directly to the Stadia servers. On Pixel smartphones, USB connection is required as there is no support for Bluetooth.



      The DualSchock 4 and Xbox Adaptive Controller support "USB and Bluetooth connectivity" on Desktop and Pixel. While Xbox controller is supported, there are several issues related to the "home" button:

      • The Xbox Adaptive Controller "Home" button is not supported on Android, Linux, or ChromeOS.
      • The Xbox controllers "Home" button on Windows can open the Windows Game Bar when pressed and is therefore not supported by Stadia on Windows.
      • Bluetooth for Xbox One Wireless Controllers is not supported on Linux.

      The Switch Pro Controller supports USB and Bluetooth in the Chrome browser on the desktop, but not on Android 9. There are reports that the accessory would have worked on Android 10 (we hope so).
