Stadia is confirmed for Android TV with arrival in 2020.

Why would it need an OS update? Shouldn't it work just work with all AndroidTV devices that are able to decode a 4k/60fps stream? Even if the integrated Chromecast isn't enough, a Stadia App should do...

Well most Sony Android TV's have network hardware that caps at 100Mbits. Good luck......I even asked a Sony rep about this and they had no clue. I actually had to rummage through tech specs manuals until I found it has a 100BASETX.

Isn't it just supposed to work with anything that has a youtube app?

There's no console tech on the user's side with stadia, it's just a video stream. The controller pairs with the wifi to bypass the machine, so the OS/app doesn't need to even know you're playing a game. I thought that was the whole selling point, that it's just part of youtube.

I don't know if I would call this officially 'confirmed', but we could all probably guess that 2020 is correct. I mean we know it is launching only on Chromecast Ultra in November 2019, so it's almost certainly not 2019, and I sure hope their primary controller-supporting TV-focused platform within 13 months of launching the service.
