Valve also announced another app in the same press release. The Steam Link App will feature support for the Steam Controller, MFI controllers, and more across both platforms.” Any Android (phone, tablet, TV) or IOS (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV) device will be able to download this app.Īccording to a post from Valve’s press website, “The Steam Link app, slated to launch the week of May 21st, allows gamers to experience their Steam library of games on their Android (phone, tablet, TV) and iOS-based (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV) devices while connected via 5Ghz network or wired Ethernet to a host system (Mac or PC), with Android access initially offered in beta. Now you’ll be able to bring your library of games on the go. A much more efficient way of getting your PC to run effectively on your TV, that’s for sure. This device allows users to connect their PC to their TV, so that they can play all of their games on their Steam library on the big screen. Valve has only grown over the past ten years, expecially with the release of the Steam Link about three years ago. This can get tricky, especially if you move it from device to device, because of Bluetooth idiosyncrasies.It was bound to happen. As noted earlier this week, Steam quietly enabled Bluetooth support in the Steam Controller in preparation for this launch. Then you connect your Bluetooth controller to the device.
It also means your streaming box or phone has to be attached to the same network and the bandwidth needs to be pretty constant. That's because it sends whatever's coming off the video card to the app. If you've never used Steam's streaming, you should note that it completely takes over your system, simultaneously displaying the streamed game. First, you enable and set up Steam's in-home streaming feature within the desktop Steam application on a host system attached to your network. There are three steps to setting up the system. In that sense, the clean, easy-to-use interface is a welcome surprise. So it's set the bar pretty low in what we expect from the company on mobile. Valve's been lagging in its app development if you judge by its current Steam mobile app (on both Android and iOS), which is clunky, ugly and missing some capabilities.
