Google revealed that at some point this week it was going to allow Stadia controller owners to enable Bluetooth, allowing the controller to be used on other platforms. That time is now as Bluetooth support has gone live.
By visiting the Stadia website, owners of Stadia controllers can finally make the switch to the long-requested feature. It’s stated that once you enable Bluetooth mode, the switch will be permanent and you won’t be able to go back to Wi-Fi for playing on Stadia. However, you’ll be able to still play on Stadia if you use a wired connection. But that shouldn’t be much of a concern given that the platform is scheduled to shut down on January 18.
