Setting up a PS4 Controller with Google Stadia is simple. There’s nothing to configure. But what happens if the controller isn’t automatically detected?

Will the PS4 Controller Ever Work With Stadia on Google Chromecast?

Google hasn’t announced plans to make the PlayStation 4 controller compatible with Google Stadia on a Google Chromecast. This odd restriction is due to the lack of Bluetooth on older Chromecast Ultra models that support Stadia. There is one way to use a PS4 Controller with a Chromecast. Stadia has an experimental feature called Tandem Mode. Plug a second controller into a Stadia controller’s USB-C port. The second controller’s input is replicated through the Stadia controller and sent to the Chromecast over Wi-Fi. In other words, the Stadia controller becomes a big Wi-Fi dongle. Tandem Mode works with a PS4 controller. Just remember it’s experimental and may not work in every game. You’ll also need to own a Google Stadia controller, which, for many gamers, defeats the point.
