Basic things to know about Google Stadia
Not all features of Google Stadia are available for the iPhone and iPad. Some of the available ones may not function properly. You need iOS 14.3 or later or iPadOS 14.3 or later to get Stadia on your iPhone or iPad. If you are on an earlier version, please update. Currently, Stadia is available in only 22 countries. You need at least one game (obviously). After creating a Stadia account, you can purchase a game or get the Stadia Pro subscription.
Now that we are done with the basics, here is how to play Stadia games on your iPhone or iPad.
How to play Google Stadia on iPhone and iPad
For the best experience, pair a controller. iPhone supports Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers as well as those wireless ones designed for iOS. (iOS 14.5 is expected to support PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers). You may also purchase the official Stadia controller or use the touch screen.
How to add Stadia to your iPhone Home Screen
Playing in a browser can be disturbing due to the browser tabs, buttons, elements, etc. Thus, it would help if you create a Progressive Web App (PWA) shortcut for Stadia on your iPhone and iPad Home Screen. You only have to follow the steps below once. Important Notes:
Google Stadia app is available on the App Store. But this is for things like setting up and managing Stadia on other devices (or the Stadia controller). You cannot play games inside it. The Home Screen app icons for the Stadia app (downloaded from the App Store) and the PWA shortcut (explained above) are different. This will help you recognize them. Nice! You can move the Stadia PWA icon anywhere on the iPhone or iPad Home Screen. It behaves like any other app icon.
Ready to play Google Stadia on your iPhone!
This is how you can enjoy Stadia on your Apple mobile devices. Before playing, it would help if you enable ‘Do Not Disturb’ to avoid the call and other notifications. For this, bring up the iPhone Control Center and tap the crescent moon icon. In case you ever have issues with gameplay due to mid-way call, failed controller connections, etc., force quit the Stadia app (Progressive Web App) and relaunch it.
