Yes, I’d like to try streaming games on my Android smartphone or the TV, but on another PC? It would be a hard pass for me.Įspecially, considering that Steam Link requires the Steam Client running on your host computer (be it Windows or MacOS). The support for Steam Link for Linux is a welcome addition, but personally, I can’t think of many use-cases unless you have multiple PCs connected to a wired connection or a 5 GHz wireless connection.
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.
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.
