* Apple Mac running macOS 10.13 or higher Just pair an MFI or Steam controller to your Mac, connect to a computer running Steam on the same local network, and start playing your existing Steam games. The Steam Link app allows you to play your Steam games across all your computers. The full Steam app weighs in at 1GB of drive space. Steam Link originally launched on iOS and tvOS in 2019.Īlthough Steam users have long been able to stream games from within the Mac version of the Steam app, the release of the Steam Link app for macOS now provides a lightweight (29.8MB) method of streaming games to their Mac. The lightweight client allows users to stream Steam games from a computer to the Mac.

It’s clear that everybody wants to turn 2019 into the year of cloud gaming.Almost two years after being released for iOS and tvOS, Steam Link has officially launched in the Mac App Store. Google also has been teasing its Game Developers Conference to learn more about its gaming projects. Microsoft recently showed off Forza Horizon 4 running on an Android phone thanks to Project xCloud. That would turn Steam Link Anywhere into a Shadow competitor. Now let’s see if Valve plans to flip the switch and let you run Steam games on a server in a data center near you. If you don’t have a fiber connection at home, the latency might simply be too high to play any game. With Steam Link Anywhere, your performance will vary depending on your home internet connection. Steam Link works fine on a local network, especially if you use Ethernet cables between all your devices. You can start Steam on your computer and play demanding PC games on other screens. Unfortunately, Valve still hasn’t found a way to release its Steam Link app on the App Store for iOS devices and the Apple TV. You can now download the Steam Link app on an Android phone, an Android TV device or a Raspberry Pi. While Valve might be done on the hardware side, the company is still iterating on Steam Link apps. The company’s strategy is a bit puzzling here as Valve recently discontinued its hardware set-top box, the Steam Link. As the name suggests, it lets you turn your gaming PC into a cloud gaming server and stream games from… anywhere. As PC Gamer spotted, the company quietly released a beta version of Steam Link Anywhere. Valve doesn’t want to miss the cloud gaming bandwagon.
