Chromecast with Google TV is currently not compatible with the Stadia game streaming service. A surprising choice when Google should have paralleled Increasing market share In the increasingly competitive environment of the platform, Google nevertheless explains to our colleagues at The Verge:Streaming gaming platform support will arrive in an update in the first half of 2021.

Frankly, the bloggers did not face any pressing issue that could explain why Google chose to drop support for Stadia at launch. Apart from the fact that the app is not entirely suitable for this type of television oriented interface at the moment.

So it’s possible that Google would prefer to be a little less ambitious at this stage to avoid risking users complaining about bugs that make their Chromecast gaming experience impractical. And the firm thus gives itself a little more time to develop its code. Still, we’re pretty surprised that Google hasn’t done the upstream needed to better capitalize on the synergy between this launch and its streaming video game platform.
