Google has steadily been perking up the feature set of its cloud game streaming service, Stadia, ever since its launch last year. It has added a bunch of new game titles and even offered Stadia Pro for free to everyone during the quarantine. Today, Google has taken a huge step to expand Stadia to all Android phones and enabled mobile touch controls for gaming on the move.
Yeah, you read that right. In its latest “This Week on Stadia” blog post, Google revealed that users can now try out Stadia on almost any Android phone. If it’s possible to install the Stadia mobile app on your device, then you can try out the cloud gaming service.
“While this feature is still in development and not every phone will work perfectly, you can now try out Stadia and play your favorite games on more screens than ever before,” says the blog post. Since Stadia is not available in India right now, we weren’t able to test out this feature.
One of the most important additions to Stadia comes in the form of on-screen touch controls for mobile users. You no longer need to carry a controller on you at all times. Instead, when you power up a game going forward, the app will prompt the ‘Try touch gamepad’ option on your screen. Enable this to experience a much more refined mobile gaming experience on the move.
