Google Extends Stadia Controller Bluetooth Conversion Deadline
Google has extended the deadline for converting Stadia controllers to Bluetooth connectivity until December 31, 2024. After shutting down the Stadia service in 2022, Google allowed users to convert their controllers for use with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, or Android gaming. However, the conversion permanently disables the 3.5mm audio port. To switch to Bluetooth mode, users need a Stadia controller, a PC with an internet connection, and a cable to connect the controller to the PC. By following the instructions on Google's official site, users can pair the gamepad as a Bluetooth controller and even remap certain buttons.
