Google Stadia: An update is coming to the controller’s Bluetooth capabilities

The Stadia controller makes “SEGA” and is preparing to skip the Google videogame school of thought: the future of the device is Bluetooth

It’s incredible how every single owl from Michael Pachter to Nintendo always affects other console manufacturers, and the similarities with SEGA’s second youth on other platforms come back overwhelmingly with the controller Of Google Stadiaready to use on PC with functions Bluetooth. The white flag for the console of equal whiteness therefore brings with it a glimmer of light among the ashy clouds of the cloud. A few hours after the definitive closing of the doors by the console, the update is available. Not all bad comes to silver, if we turn a blind eye to the cases of Sundar Pichai.

A penny for the last blue tooth under the pillow: the Google Stadia controller uses Bluetooth

Of course, Google has also updated the customer support web page with all the necessary details to connect the Stadia controller to your PCs via Bluetooth. The update, according to the official website, will be available to users until 31 December. Not for this, however, things are exactly rosy. Using the power saving features to connect prevents the transfer of other data with wireless communication, such as audio. On the other hand, the controller allows you to map buttons for Google assistant and image capture features.

Stadians, you can now update your Stadia Controller’s firmware to enable Bluetooth Low Energy connections.
