Whatever you use, when it's set up and ready, you'll need to pair the Steam Link device to your PC. However, as discontinued devices, these are rare and incredibly expensive. For under $50, you can buy a single-board computer that can connect to your TV as a dedicated Steam Link box. However, it's their best option now that NVIDIA GameStream is no more.īut what if you don't have these devices? Well, you can use an affordable Raspberry Pi to stream PC games. Additionally, NVIDIA Shield TV owners can stream PC games via Steam Link. If you're lucky enough to own a compatible Samsung or Sony Smart TV, you can download the Steam Link app and use it to stream PC games to your TV. The Steam Link app is free and available for all major devices and platforms. But what device will you use? This is where it gets tricky. This can get tricky, especially if you move it from device to device, because of Bluetooth idiosyncrasies.At this point, you'll be ready to pair a Steam Link-compatible device to the Steam desktop app. 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.
