Google has turned off its Stadia cloud game streaming service, but it\u2019s giving the wireless Stadia controller a second chance as a Bluetooth controller<\/a> that can be connected to PCs, Macs, phones, and presumably other devices, too. The change won\u2019t happen automatically; it\u2019s a manual process that can\u2019t be reversed. What\u2019s more, you only have until December 31st, 2023, to do the switch to enable Bluetooth wireless. After that date, any unconverted Stadia controller will still work as a wired USB gamepad, but it\u2019ll be locked out of playing games wirelessly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m going to walk you through the process for converting your Stadia controller by using Google\u2019s browser-based tool. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Charge your controller, plug it in, and open the tool<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
