With Steam Link, Steam players can use a computer as a host to stream and play games on any device.īack in 2018, Steam Link was rejected on the App Store due to Apple’s guidelines that prohibited streaming games on iOS. While the physical Steam Link is gone, it appears that the ability to remotely play your Steam games on TV is something that will continue to be available from Valve.Almost two years after being released for iOS and tvOS, the official Steam Link client is finally available for Mac users through the Mac App Store. Additionally, they have announced their first full-on VR game for 2019 as a flagship title among several games they are working. They have also announced their new VR headset, Valve Index, which replaces the HTC Vive as their own exclusive device that appears to be cutting-edge. Streaming is probably not high up in Valve's priorities right now, focused as they are on overhauling Steam for both gamers and developers, likely gearing up for the competition that has emerged last year when Epic Games Store was announced and started securing exclusives. The app would have been available sooner, if not for the fact that Apple rejected it over "business conflicts."
The technology is already pretty old, so much that the Steam Link device has been discontinued, and our TechRaptor staff writer correctly predicted the release of an iOS app. Otherwise, you can expect some input lag. For best performance, you'll want a computer plugged with an Ethernet cable to your 5Ghz WiFi router, and to keep your iOS device within a reasonable range of your router.
