Last week, we reported on the Google Stadia shutdown. While nothing has changed on that front, and the tech giant is still shutting down its Stadia gaming platform, there might still be hope for the controller that Stadia consoles come with.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Currently, you can still use your Stadia controller with other consoles, as you have been able to all along. However, the controller has Bluetooth usability limitations. This means that if you want to use your Stadia controller wirelessly<\/strong>, you can only do so with the Stadia console. However, given that the Stadia console is almost a relic of Google\u2019s ill-fated foray into the gaming industry, even that won\u2019t be possible for much longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the announcement of the shutdown, Google has understandably been inundated with questions and desperate pleas from players who\u2019ve logged considerable hours on their Stadia devices. The primary concern, other than \u2018will I be able to port my progress to another platform,\u2019 is whether the Stadia controller is going to now turn into little more than an adornment<\/strong> and a reminder of a failed attempt at reaching the success of Microsoft and Sony in the gaming industry. Google wants you to know that it\u2019s heard your pleas<\/a> and, to that end, has issued a statement in the form of an email reply to one such query.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
