Google Assistant can now open Stadia games on Android and Chromebooks

Google Assistant can now launch google stadia games on Android phones and Chromebooks. The feature is currently in testing and is not yet widely available.

With this new addition, users can open directly to a Stadia game through the Google Assistant by using the keyword "OK Google or Hey Google" and saying "Play [Google Stadia game]." If you live in a region supported by Google Stadia and own one of the Stadia-enabled phones, this might be useful to jump right into the game without having to do any manual searching.

To make it all better, Google is also testing to support the feature on Chromebooks. Some users get the feature on Chromebooks, but it only seems to work when accessed via the home key.

Notably, the feature appears to be limited to games you've already purchased and are present in your Stadia Library. That is, if you're planning to check out a new Stadia game using the Google Assistant, it will probably take you to game-related search results.

With all that said, keep in mind that the feature is currently undergoing A/B testing in typical Google fashion and it may take a while to see the changes reflected on your supported devices.

By adding small and convenient improvements like this, Google strives to bring a smooth experience to its users. With the free format finally available and the arrival of one of the popular Battle Royales PUBG, Stadia continues to expand its user base and titles, to attract new users to the platform.
