Google Stadia adds iOS support, Pro members get four new games
Good news everybody! Google has finally added official support for iOS devices to its cloud gaming service Stadia. This means you no longer need clever workarounds or third-party apps to play Stadia games on your iPhone. What's more, the official Stadia controller is supported, as well as third-party controllers (via Bluetooth) such as the DualShock 4 Controller and the Xbox One Controller.
The whole process is explained in detail on this page, but in a nutshell - you need a device with iOS version 14.3 or greater, a Stadia account, and some games in your library. You can add the Stadia web app shortcut to your home screen by following the instructions below:
Stadia Pro members can claim four new titles, available from January 1. The big news here is F1 2020 - one of the best open-wheel racers out there. Pro members can also get Hotline Miami - top-down shooter, the cute action-RPG Ary and the Secret of Seasons, as well as Figment - which Google describes as “a musical journey through the mind.”
