PSA: You’ve got another year to save your Google Stadia gamepad from a wired-only existence.

Did you know Google’s pretty good gamepad can be converted to Bluetooth mode with an official web app, letting you use it with PCs and phones wirelessly instead of forever searching for dead Google servers?

Google has once again extended the deadline to save these gamepads — until December 31st, 2025.
