Last updated
Wondering if you can link your Stadia controller with your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right spot!
Let’s dive into whether it’s possible to use a Stadia controller with your Nintendo Switch and how to do it.
Can You Connect a Stadia Controller to a Nintendo Switch?
Short answer: No, not directly. The Stadia controller is designed to work with Google’s Stadia platform and does not support direct connection to the Nintendo Switch.
However, tech enthusiasts have found workarounds using third-party adapters that can trick the Nintendo Switch into recognizing the Stadia controller as a generic USB controller. Remember, this method might require some technical know-how and isn’t officially supported by Nintendo or Google, so proceed with caution.
