Like xCloud, Nvidia’s GeForce Now is also accessible via the Chrome and Edge browsers, but it has the same controller issues as Stadia when you play games via Chrome. Microsoft Edge is currently the best way to game in the cloud with the Steam Deck until other browsers catch up. But Edge is not officially supported by Stadia so you might run into issues. This also means that you can theoretically use Edge instead of Chrome to play games on Stadia, since Edge is a Chromium-based browser. The main benefit to installing Edge on the Steam Deck is that this version of the browser is compatible with the Steam Deck controls-so any other cloud gaming service that also works via the Edge browser will have working controls, as well. That process is detailed on the official Microsoft Edge Reddit community, so if you’re feeling eager to take on a little project it’ll guide you step by step.

From there, visit Stadia’s website, login with your Gmail account (or sign-up for a free trial), pick a game to play, and have fun! It’s accessible from either your Steam library or via the console’s PC desktop mode, but it’s much more convenient and easier to navigate from your library. Google’s Chrome browser is pre-installed on the Steam Deck.
