Stadia finally comes to Android TV and Chromecast with Google TV June 23

Way to get it in just under the wire, Google. What you need to know Over half a year after launching the Chromecast with Google TV, you'll finally be able to officially play Stadia games on it. On June 23, Stadia comes to the Chromecast with Google TV and a half-dozen Android TV devices. For non-supported Android TV devices, you'll still be able to play Stadia through an experimental opt-in. Stadia players will be able to use the Stadia controller or compatible Bluetooth controllers on Android TV. One of the most glaring holes in the Chromecast with Google TV , when it launched back in October, was that it didn't support Stadia — you still had to spend more for the four-year-old Chromecast Ultra if you wanted to use Google's streaming game service on your TV. Stadia support for the Chromecast for Google TV was slated to arrive in the first half of 2021, and we now know Google will be hitting that deadline, barely. Stadia will be supported on Android TV mod

Review: Xbox Game Pass cloud streaming works wonders on Android

Xbox Game Pass is hands down the best game streaming service you can get on your Android phone. Microsoft made waves across the industry with Xbox Game Pass, creating an affordable subscription service that sees new select AAA titles and exclusives launch into it the day they release at retail. The value is immense, and it only got better when Xbox Game Pass Ultimate added cloud streaming for its members. Though still in beta, Xbox Game Pass cloud streaming works fantastic on Android, allowing you to play your favorite console games on the go wherever you are. I've spent some time testing it out in a variety of games that support either touch controls or dedicated controllers, and it works like a charm, even in first-person shooters. Though there are times where you'll encounter some input lag or latency as the connection buffers, these tend to be few and far between. As far as game streaming services go, this is the best you can get on Android. Xbox Game Pass for Android

USB webcams and PS4: Will they work together?

Best answer: No. Sony's PlayStation 4 does not provide support for standard USB webcams. In fact, the company requires that you use its proprietary camera, which uses a different jack than USB. The only PS4 camera: PlayStation Camera A professional option: Elgato HD60 S Cameras and PlayStation Rather than adding support for third-party USB cameras , Sony has tried to make its camera a must-have accessory since it first introduced the EyeToy camera for PlayStation 2. Unfortunately for Sony, the EyeToy and upgraded PlayStation Eye were far from a must-have, and camera games were limited at best throughout the life of the PlayStation 2 and 3. It wasn't until 2010 that the camera started gaining a little traction with the launch of PlayStation Move. Over 15 million Moves were shipped by 2012, but the continued lack of any games worth owning meant it would eventually die out as EyeToy had — if the upcoming PlayStation VR headset hadn't been able to save it.

Review: The Razer Kishi controller is an outstanding mobile companion

The Razer Kishi is one of the best you can get if you don't want a regular PlayStation or Xbox controller. Anyone who frequents gaming spaces online or has purchased gaming accessories has likely heard of Razer. It's one of the most dependable brands when it comes to hardware and accessories. After testing out the Gamesir X2 Bluetooth mobile controller , I was given a chance to try out the Razer Kishi, specifically its Xbox-branded model. Considering how huge Xbox Game Pass for Android has become, it seemed like the perfect match. After spending some time with it, I definitely see the Razer Kishi as my go-to mobile gaming controller going forward. While I don't think it beats an actual DualSense or Xbox controller, it's an outstanding accessory that every person should have.
