How to play Stadia on any smartphone

Due to technical limitations, Google Stadia cannot officially run on other devices, but you can trick the service by using root privileges and the Magisk utility. Thanks to them, Stadia can be played on any device. Since the hacking procedure may differ for each device, we do not provide instructions to avoid confusion. However, remember that by jailbreaking your smartphone, you automatically void your warranty and may get a brick at the exit. And since in the current conditions you are unlikely to find a working service center, you will have to cook with a broken device until May, at best. Therefore, feel free to move on to the next item.

How to play Stadia without a controller

If you don’t have a controller, you can also do without it by using a Google Chrome extension called Touch Stadia.

Open this link in Chrome on your smartphone;

Copy all the text on this page;

Launch Google Stadia in Chrome, then open the context menu and enable the PC version;

You can play Stadia without a controller, but is it necessary?

Now write in the search bar “” (without quotes) and immediately, without putting a space, paste the text that you copied earlier;

You will see the confirmation of pairing with the controller appear in the upper left corner;

Now start any game – all control elements of the controller will be given on the screen in the form of touch buttons.

Is it convenient? Not. After all, no matter how large the screen of your smartphone, it will obviously not be enough to place all the controls of the virtual gamepad so that they do not interfere during the game. However, if you have an Android tablet, in theory this could work for simple games like Grid. So try and share your impressions. Most importantly, don’t forget to cancel your Stadia subscription when you play enough.
