Google Stadia controllers will work with other Bluetooth devices soon

A "self-serve tool" will make it possible following Stadia's demise.

A “self-serve tool” will help Google Stadia users take their controllers to other Bluetooth supported platforms, Google has advised.

Days before the shutdown of Stadia itself on 18 January, Google took to the official Stadia Twitter account with the news.

“We’ve also got Bluetooth news: next week we’ll be releasing a self-serve tool to enable Bluetooth connections on your Stadia Controller,” the post read.

While specifics weren’t given, more will be shared upon the release of the tool. We’ll update this post as we learn more.

Ahead of Stadia’s shutdown, Google is refunding those who’ve made hardware and software purchases; a majority of refunds should be processed by the service’s shutdown.

Stadia was not made available here in Australia.
