I apologize for this error.įor months now, it’s been possible to sideload the Stadia mobile app onto an Android TV device and get an experience that can be described as “playable,” at best. Notable changes include a slightly tweaked Google Assistant experience and a brief look at the in-app account switcher.Īnother change I need to call attention to is that I originally reported issues with streaming in 4K, but this was found to be due to an incorrect setting on my Chromecast. Update: Now that the Android TV app has gone live, we’ve given the app another lookover and updated, where needed, below.

We’ll be doing a much more comprehensive test of Android TV and Google TV devices in the coming days. Things will almost certainly be different on non-supported Android TVs and possibly even just between the Chromecast and other Google TV-based devices. While this allows access to most of the Stadia app’s menus, there are still some things, like the account switcher, that won’t work for now.Īdditionally, we have so far only tested on the Chromecast with Google TV, not a general Android TV device. Instead, since the app doesn’t launch until June 23, we’re forced to use a workaround to play.

Original: Before we dive in, I need to note that the Stadia for Android TV experience we’ve used is not complete. Google has now launched a proper “Stadia for Android TV” app into the Play Store, and we’ve spent a few hours playing with it and learning its ins and outs. Instead, to (officially) play on TV, players were forced to purchase a Chromecast Ultra and Stadia Controller. Since the launch of the Chromecast with Google TV back in October, it’s been downright bizarre that Stadia, Google’s premier game streaming service, was not available on the company’s newest streaming hardware.
