YouTube channel Gem Stadia first spotted evidence regarding Google’s work to support Stadia via Safari in the source code of Stadia’s web app. “New! Play on this browser – Gameplay here is still in development. As we test performance and add more features, your feedback will help us improve the Stadia experience for everyone,” reads the description.
Google officially supporting Stadia on iPhones and iPads via Safari will probably put Stadium out of business, which currently mimics Google Chrome as the user agent. However, Stadium is your friend until that happens. It is worth applauding the efforts of Zach Knox – the developer behind Stadium whose contribution restored hopes of Stadia access to iPhone users. With all that said, do keep in mind that Google has not provided a timeline as to when it is planning to officially support Stadia via Safari. In fact, the company has not even officially confirmed its plans. If Google doesn’t face any major hurdles in the implementation, we could expect that to happen in the coming weeks.
