Apr 7th 2023 Most Popular Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, Steam Hardware Survey (94).Jun 15th 2023 Valve Releases Major Steam Desktop Client Update (34).
The Steam Link app is compatible with a number of popular Bluetooth controllers, including the Steam Controller, and Valve recommends a 5 GHz network or wired Ethernet for best experience. Interested users can participate in the open beta program by simply downloading the app ( Google Play store only for now) or on the Raspberry Pi as has been the case for a few months already. This latest news from Valve allows streaming of one's Steam library (games, in particular) to phones, tablets, and TVs with no download or service fees applicable. NVIDIA's Shield offered a similar concept, and that too has not really made the news as much as NVIDIA would surely have wanted. Valve for their own part has had their Steam Link be enjoyed by a fairly niche audience, one that shares a more local form of game streaming from a host device to another on the same network. Be it Google's Project Stream which seemingly is leading up to a major announcement by the company at GDC coming up very shortly, or Microsoft introducing their new Wireless Display app for PC game streaming on the XBOX One, as well as bringing its XBOX Live service to mobile platforms on iOS or Android alike, 2019 seems to herald a re-focus into the concept of game streaming whether the infrastructure is ready or not. That was 2018, and it is remarkable how the topic of in-house game streaming has come up since. Valve had promised continued support to the Steam Link after discontinuing it last year, and most took it to mean basic updates to the hardware device itself at the time. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
