• December 31, 2023, was initially the deadline for switching Stadia controllers to Bluetooth mode.
• Google has now tacked on an additional year to that deadline.
• To switch to Bluetooth, you’ll need to use the web-based tool on the Stadia website.

At the beginning of this week, we warned you that there were only a couple of weeks left to switch your Stadia controller to Bluetooth. If you haven’t made the switch already, you can let out a sigh of relief because Google is giving you more time.

Before Google announced the shutdown of Stadia, it gave its Stadia controllers a new lease on life by giving the gamepads a Bluetooth mode. This would make the device compatible with phones, PCs, and other gaming platforms. But to enable Bluetooth mode, you had to connect your controller to a PC and use Google’s web-based tool to activate the feature.
