It’s more like a local-only cloud game streaming utilizing the hardware you already own and the games that you’ve already purchased on Steam. Unlike Cloud gaming solutions, Steam Link needs a capable PC connected to the home network. Steam Link Needs a Reliable Connection & Capable PC Now, with a new announcement by Valve, Steam Link is finally available for Linux with the help of Collabora. The list of supported devices includes iPhone, Android TVs, Android phones, Samsung Smart TVs, and Raspberry Pi 3.

Right after that, it was pitched in as a software solution that supported mobile devices and Raspberry Pi to let you stream the game on them from your PC via your home network. The tech was completely sold out and discontinued in November 2018. But we hope Apple will reconsider in the future,” Valve said.In case you didn’t know, Steam Link was initially a hardware-based solution to let you stream the games that you own in your Steam library from your PC. Update, May 24: This afternoon, Valve announced that Steam Link was rejected by Apple “citing business conflicts with app guidelines that had allegedly not been realized by the original review team.” Valve said its appeal to Apple, that the Steam Link app was similar to “numerous remote desktop applications already available on the app store,” was also denied. Valve said that a release date for the iOS version of Steam Link “is pending further review with Apple.”

It supports the Android 5.0 operating system, the Steam Controller and other Bluetooth input devices. Update: Steam Link is now available for Android devices. The Steam Video - and Steam Link - app will allow users to enjoy the content in both streaming and offline modes. The same update will deliver the Steam Video app to both mobile platforms, letting users enjoy the library of shows and videos on their devices, too. The Steam Link app for mobile devices will support the Steam Controller, MFi controllers and other peripherals. If these devices are connected to a 5 Ghz network (or wired by ethernet), users may play their full library of Steam games. Steam Link, the application that serves games played via Steam to a connected television, is coming to mobile devices, Valve announced today.Ī Steam Link app is due to launch May 21 for Android and iOS devices, Valve said.
