You’ve got ’til the end of 2025 to transition your Stadia controller

Users get a one-year extension regarding a planned cutover.

Just a friendly reminder: Google Stadia users have until 31 December of this year to transition their Stadia controller to then be used on a different platform.

As we reported back in January 2023, Stadia users have access to a self-service tool that will transition their Stadia controller to a regular ol’ Bluetooth one. Once transitioned, the Stadia controller will use Bluetooth to pair with other platforms and systems. The self-service tool is a one-way affair, but that’s fine; Stadia was closed down almost two years ago.

The self-service tool was first offered during 2023, then extended to the end of 2024, and then extended to the end of this year. Will it be extended again? Maybe, but I’d ask why you’d risk it.

You can head here and use a Google Chrome browser to start the swap.

Google Stadia was never officially available within Australia.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
