The end for Steam Machines?Įlsewhere, in today’s media release, the company announced a new Steam Video app is also slated for release on iOS and Android later this simmer. The app will launch in the week commencing May 21, with the Android app initially arriving in beta. However, so long as you tick that box, you’re good to go. The devices will need to be connected via 5Ghz network or wired Ethernet to a host system (Mac or PC). Naturally, the app is compatible for the Steam Controller, as well as MFI (Made for iPhone) as well as others available across both iOS and Android. Whatsmore, the forthcoming new app also works on Apple TV and Android TV, meaning you’ll be able to play those same Steam titles on the living room television set. Valve is launching its Steam Link app for iOS and Android, making it possible for gamers to stream their entire library directly to smartphones and tablets. Your results are going to depend on how good the network connection is in your house, but with a good router and your PC wired in (even with the PC over Wi-Fi my results were good) it feels like the game is running on the phone itself. User Michael New wrote on the Google Play listing: “Genuinely impressed with how well this works. Just pair a Bluetooth controller or Steam Controller to your device, connect to a computer running Steam on the same local network, and start playing your existing Steam games.”Įarly impressions appear to be good, with a 4.4 (out of 5) rating thus far. In the release notes Valve writes: “The Steam Link app brings desktop gaming to your Android device. While the app will enable gamers to play their Steam libraries on their smartphone via a paired Steam Controller, users will need to be connected to a PC on the same network. The app can be downloaded from Google Play, today, but be prepared to encounter the odd bug until it comes out of beta. UPDATE: Friday May 18: The Android version of Steam Link is now live for devices running Android 5.0 and up.
