The popular Google Stadia can now be played on the iOS 14 with a workaround app named ‘Stadium Full-Screen Browser.’ It is a full-screen web browser with controller support. A Stadia Reddit user recently announced the new highly specialized browser app for running Stadia on iOS to download from the App Store. As the name suggests, the Stadium Full-Screen Browser supports full-screen view, authentication support, and supports Bluetooth game controller.
The Stadia Reddit user post stated, ‘Over the recent few weeks, there have been few tricks doing the rounds around this subreddit to get Stadia working effectively on iOS 14. Hence, I decided to show a highly specialized browser app to the App Store, making this happen. “Stadium” is a full screen and a single page serving app that allows the user to change the user agent and supports any game controller that an iOS can understand. When the app is opened, it will give the user a primary URL and a custom user agent.”
