You can now play your Steam games on iPhone with Steam Link
Table of contents:
If you have an iPhone and, in turn, you usually play through the Steam gaming platform, you can be in luck. You can already get the Steam Link application in the App Store, thanks to which you can play the games you have on Steam on your iPhone device completely free of charge.
Valve, developer of the application, had already tried to host Steam Link in the past year 2018 but was rejected by Apple due to 'commercial conflicts'.Now it finally officially arrives not only on iOS but also on tvOS. If you want to use Steam Link now but don't know where to start, don't worry, here we will show you step by step how to do it.
How to use Steam Link on your Apple device
- First, of course, you have to download the Steam Link app from its own link in the iOS App Store. The weight of this application is about 30 MB.
- Subsequently, the user must keep the computer on and connected to the same WiFi network as the device on which the application is installed from Steam Link.
- Our Apple device must have iOS 11 version or higher installed. Otherwise, you will not be able to use Steam Link on your computer.
- You must have at least 30 MB memory on your phone to host the application. However, we suggest that you not only have this storage available, especially so that your terminal works smoothly and naturally.
- You must be properly logged into your Steam account and remember Do not turn off your laptop or PC under any circumstances.
Basically, what the Steam Link application does is 'replicate' the image of what we see on our computer (ie the game we are playing through Steam) on our iPhone or iPad. We can use both a PC and a Mac for this. The application developer has invited Steam Link users to make sure they are connected to the 5GHz band of their WiF Yo. If the computer you use does not have dual band, you should get a microUSB adapter to equip your equipment with it.
Now all that remains is for you to try Steam Link and play all the games you have on the platform more comfortably, in comfort from your iPad or iPhone.
