I’m running an Xbox controller over Bluetooth and it works quite well. Many games support controllers that are Apple TV compatible, Bluetooth keyboards and mice are also supported. Here, I have an iMac running High Sierra, an HP running Pop! OS Linux, and a Windows 10 gaming PC.īig picture mode launches in my living room and I can choose a home. This is where you can manage connected computers you’d like to stream from. On the Steam Link home screen the cog icon in the top right is the settings panel. 4th generation and newer Apple TVs are supported. To get connected with an Apple TV, download the free Steam Link app from the App Store and launch the app. The system requirements are surprisingly modest my older iMac running High Sierra runs Steam just fine. The app will also be made available on Apple iOS and tvOS later.To follow along you’ll need a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer running Steam software on your home network. You also need a bluetooth game controller. It currently works over Ethernet and WiFi but not yet over a 4G data connection. “You can go into the advanced streaming settings, and tune streaming resolution and bitrate for the best experience in your setup.” The system behind Steam Link outputs a MPEG4 H.264 encoded video stream from your graphics card and transmits it with custom low-latency protocol over the home network to a receiving app on a mobile device or TV screen. “If you have a powerful rig, wired network, and very good client device, it’s possible to stream at 4K 60 fps,” Sam Lantinga, Valve, told Variety. Valve tells Variety that the app defaults to 1080p at 60fps game streaming but that, if you have a fast and stable network connection, you can stream games in 4K at 60fps, too.
It requires a PC or Mac with Steam installed. With the Steam Link, PC and Mac games can be streamed over a home network connection either wirelessly with 5GHz WiFi or through a wired connection. It also works with Android mobile devices. It works with Android TVs such as those from Sony, Philips, and other brands as well as Android TV powered media players.
