The Xbox One controller, just like the DualShock 4, has a Micro USB port, while the newer Xbox Series controller got the upgrade to USB-C. Phones that can run Stadia will also support the controller, either wired or wire-free.

Then, on the DualShock 4, press and hold its “Share” button just to the left of the touchpad, then hold the middle “PlayStation” button with the logo on it. To connect it wirelessly via Bluetooth to either your computer or a phone, make sure the device that will host Stadia is in Bluetooth pairing mode.

The drivers should download automatically. To use a DualShock 4 with Stadia via a wired connection, just find a Micro USB to USB-A cable and link the two sources. So if you kept your DualShock 4 around, you’re covered until maybe future updates from Google enable DualSense support. Sadly, the newer PlayStation 5 DualSense controller does not share this Stadia compatibility. This controller also works with phones running Android 10 or later in wired or Bluetooth mode. Sony’s aging controller for the PlayStation 4 works wired or when connected via Bluetooth with your computer running Google Chrome (version 77 or greater).
