Can you add Stadia Bluetooth Gamepad to tvOS gamepad driver

Since Stadia is closing down Google finally unlocked the bluetooth conectivity for their Stadia gamepads.


I've successfully connected the unlocked Stadia gamepad to my Mac Mini M1 and it works like a charm. Even the L2/R2 triggers are recognized as such and not simply buttons. Device is listed as "STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 18d1 Product: 9400"


When I tried to connect the gamepad to tvOS (Apple TV 4k 2022) I could establish a connection but it showed up as a generic bluetooth device, not a gamepad.


I assume that tvOS is simply missing the standard gamepad configuration in the driver.

Is there a possibility that Apple will update the gamepad driver/config for tvOS (and also iOS, same as problem as in tvOS)?



Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16
