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.

«Worm Game» can still be played until Wednesday.

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.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
