Unfortunately, Google Stadia will be shut down this year, and those who bought games through the device were outraged by the loss of data and game progress.

What devices does the Google Stadia Bluetooth controller work with?
According to Stages blog post, some devices will not be able to sync with the controller. “Not all Bluetooth devices are the same, so compatibility will vary. The Stadia controller uses Bluetooth low energy connections, so some features, such as end-to-end audio, are not available wirelessly.”
