As a farewell to Google Stadia, there is one last game and Bluetooth for the controller
Shortly before the end of Stadia, Google releases "Worm Game", one last game for the streaming service. The Bluetooth chip in the controller is also activated.
Google is handling the end of Stadia better than its life. After customers of the game streaming service have had all their purchases fully refunded, there is one last gift.
On the Community forum, Google announced on Friday that "Worm Game", a final game for the streaming service, will be released. It is a "Snake"-like title that was often played for testing purposes during the development of Stadia.

Google has also announced that the Bluetooth chip in the Stadia controller will be activated this week. Until now, the controller only worked via USB-C cable or Wi-Fi. The direct connection to the cloud served to reduce the input delay. The controller was never controlled via Bluetooth, although a corresponding chip is installed. This meant that the controller could only have been used via cable after Stadia's demise. This will now change. Details about the update will follow in the next few days.
Google Stadia will be finally discontinued on 18 January at 20:59.
Update: Here is the update for the Stadia controller.
Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
