Stadia adds touch gestures to play without a controller on Android: HUMANKIND is the first game

A year ago it reached Stadia for Android a touch control, which was nothing more than a tactile template of the official Stadia controller, a fix that allowed us to play without a controller but that for most games it was not comfortable at all, but very soon Google will fix this problem.

Stadia will take advantage of the launch of Humankind to release that same day, August 17, a very important novelty that the company has baptized as ‘direct touch’, which is nothing more than touch controls adapted to each game.

This is “direct touch”

With “direct touch” you can play the Stadia compatible games with their own touch controls and gestures, just as if they were a native Android game, with the difference that they run in the cloud.

The first game to release its own touch control and swipe or pinch gestures to perform actions is Humankind from Sega and Amplitude Studios, but little by little more compatible games will be arriving so that any Stadia game can be played comfortably from the touch screens of our mobiles and tablets.

In the case of HumandKind, the game will be played using one, two and three finger gestures without showing any virtual button on the screen that hides any element of the game.
