Google Stadia Is Finally Launching on Non-Google Phones

Stadia, Google’s cloud-based game streaming platform, is finally coming to more than just Google hardware. The company has announced support for a large number of Samsung phones, as well as Razer and Asus devices. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/22/google-stadia-review"] Supported in the new compatibility wave are the Samsung Galaxy S8, S9, S10, and S20 devices, which covers the Plus and Note versions of each, too. Both the Razer Phone and its sequel are also supported, as well as the Asus ROG Phone and the ROG Phone 2. Along with the already supported Google Pixel 2, 3, and 4, this brings the total of supported Android devices to 21 models. Not a huge amount, but a significant leap over the three that it previously worked on. Those not looking to use a mobile device to play Stadia on can also use tablets, laptops, and desktops running the Google Chrome browser, and TV’s using Google Chromecast Ultra.
