Google Stadia launched over 6 months ago and a big selling point of the service is not needing a bunch of gaming equipment. The only real hardware you need is a computer or the Stadia controller and Chromecast. However, if you wanted to play games with your phone, you needed an awkward USB cable since the controller could not wireless connect. That restriction is finally being lifted.
In the latest This Week on Stadia update, Google announced several new games coming to the platform in July. The newest free games for Stadia Pro subscribers include Crayta, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, SteamWorld Dig, and West of Loathing. The Elder Scroll Online is coming later in July. Today is also the last day to claim Serious Sam Collection, Spitlings, and Stacks On Stacks (On Stacks) for free.
The biggest announcement, however, is the much-requested feature for mobile gameplay. The Stadia controller can now wireless connect to your Stadia-capable Android smartphone. This change is coming through an update to the Stadia mobile app and it’s rolling out starting today. The controller and your phone must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Google posted a recap of all the Stadia-related announcements made during June. A few of the noteworthy additions include touch controls on mobile, expanded compatibility with OnePlus phones, per-device resolution settings, an experiment tab, and plenty of new game launches. While Stadia may have seemed lackluster at launch, it has slowly gained a lot of great features. The service still has a need for improvement, but it’s becoming a viable contender in the game streaming space.
