Steam Link: Information and requirements

Steam Link is a software application developed by Valve that enables users to stream games from their personal computers onto other devices, such as mobile phones or tablets. It allows individuals to play their favorite titles remotely, so they can continue gaming while being away from their PC.

With Steam Link, you can stream your games over a local network or the internet, but Valve recommends using a wired ethernet connection or a strong Wi-Fi connection for the best performance.

Initially, the application was a physical device that functioned in the same manner as the app. It allowed users to game remotely using an HDMI connection. However, it was discontinued in November 2018. The app has taken over the function of that physical device and has become the preferred option for gamers who want to play their Steam games remotely.

The Steam Link app offers several advantages. First, it eliminates the need to carry around a bulky physical device. Secondly, it allows gamers to play their favorite games from anywhere as long as they have a stable internet connection. The app also allows individuals to multitask; they can play games while watching their favorite shows on TV.
