Stadia is almost ready for launch on Android TV, just in time for Google's new Chromecast
A collection of recent changes makes for a much better experience

Manuel Vonau

Google has been preparing Stadia support for Android TV for a while now, and it remains one of the only Google platforms where the game streaming service isn't officially available yet. It's already been possible to sideload Stadia to Android TV devices in the past, but initial scaling issues and a Bluetooth mouse requirement for setup made it more than tedious to get started.

Getting rid of Android branding, one service at a time

Karandeep Singh

Google products undergoing multiple rounds of rebranding during their life cycle has become the norm — sparing not even the more popular ones. Android Wear shed the Android prefix back in 2018 to be simply called Wear OS, while the Home line picked up the Nest label more recently. Something similar is about to happen with Android TV, and we’re seeing yet another sign that a rebrand to Google TV is imminent.

These days, traditional TV is becoming less and less common. With the advent of streaming, people can choose what to watch when they want to watch it.

Today, Google is announcing that eight new channels from ViacomCBS are live on YouTube TV, along with a price jump from $49.99 up to $64.99.
