Google Stadia Update Adds Wireless Controller Support To PCs

An important new feature has been added to Stadia, Google's game streaming service, and it's going to make things easier for anyone who is using a PC or laptop to play their Stadia games. The new feature, announced through the Stadia Community site, allows users to wirelessly pair the Stadia controller with their computer.

"You no longer need to connect your Stadia Controller physically to your computer to play your favorite games," the post reads. "You’ll be able to link your Stadia Controller and Stadia.com through your Wi-Fi network and play without a USB-C cable connection."

This brings the Stadia service in line with a more traditional modern gaming/controller set-up, which is good to see.

Stadia Pro has also added new games to its Pro service this month, including Zombie Army 4, PUBG, SteamWorld Heist, and The Turing Test. These are available now for anyone who is a member of the service.

Stadia Pro subscribers can also currently get Doom Eternal at a 25% discount, as well as deals on PUBG DLC and several other games--the full list is available through the Stadia Community site.
