\n\tThe Google Stadia Controller.\t<\/figcaption><\/p><\/figure>\n

December 31st, 2025 is the deadline to save the Google Stadia controller<\/a>. That’s less than three weeks from today – but there’s never been a better time. Last month, I discovered the controller is finally a first-class citizen in Steam and SteamOS.<\/p>\n

The Stadia controller was originally designed to connect to your Wi-Fi network and remotely control games from Google’s cloud servers. But when Stadia shut down in January 2023, the company did an amazing job shutting down the service<\/a>: it offered full hardware refunds and let you rescue the Stadia Controller by turning it into a generic Bluetooth gamepad instead.<\/p>\n
