So you went ahead and did it: You bought into Google Stadia.
You will use Home to set up the Chromecast and Stadia to set up the service.
In addition to the phone, I suggest keeping a laptop handy.
Check to see if you have an Ethernet cable that can run from your router to your TV.
Google suggests that you should use a wired connection with the Chromecast Ultra for the best streaming experience.
Unfortunately, for the time being, it only supports wireless play with Chromecast.
Like a camera, the best controller is the one you have on you.
If you dont have anything, I recommend theXbox One Wireless Controller.
And if you do have one, but want afancyone, I recommend theXbox One Elite Series 2.
What about a mouse and keyboard?
you could play games on Stadia with a mouse and keyboard using your PC or phone.
I have it, and it works quite well.
That said, you’re able to also use a kickstand if youre sitting at a table.
The Chromecast version of Stadia is meant for playing games.
To buy games or access Stadias controls, youll need to use the Stadia app.
Dont be that guy.
Luckily, there is a way to put a lid on your data stream.
Do developers really need to know who your friends are?
This section allows you to choose what games and developers can access your friends list for in-game features features.
If you like to play solo, you may want to turn them all off.
You cannot share these recordings with anyone yet.
(This means parents will have to buy games for their kids on their kids accounts.)
The infrastructure for sharing them, however, was nowhere to be seen ahead of launch.
Google said it is recording when users earn them so you will get them when the system goes live.
Google said Buddy Passes wont be available for a couple of weeks.
