    Steam

    Concept »

    A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.

    Has anyone tried the Android Steam Link app?

    I'm curious how well this works.

    I was waiting for the iOS version and will continue to do so for a while. But to be honest I've been considering buying an Android tablet simply so I can play things on the couch or something.

    Tried it on my Pixelbook that now has Android app support, but unfortunately this app in particular doesn't seem to be supported yet and crashes on launch. Bummer.

    Tried it on my phone. Works, though the interface is a little basic. Unfortunately the Switch Pro controller I paired has serious latency issues. Also Bummer.

    Overall kind of a bummer in my particular cases, but I can see it being cool in the right circumstances. Seems to generally work as expected. Should only improve as it comes out of beta.

    I tried it on my Android TV over 5GHz WiFi using a DualShock 4. I only dicked around with it for about half an hour but it worked well enough.

    I could see it being great for playing visual novels or other basic mouse only games, if anyone know games that is mostly left mouse button and not much mouse aiming then try it with the app and no controller and report how it goes.
