Steam's New Apps Will Let You Play Games and Stream Video on iOS

Steam, a platform that offers a wide selection of games, movies, and films, has announced two new apps that will let users stream that content to their iOS or Android device.

The Steam Link app lets players stream a game from their computer to their mobile device.

The Steam Link app, slated to launch the week of May 21st, allows gamers to experience their Steam library of games on their Android (phone, tablet, TV) and iOS-based (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV) devices while connected via 5Ghz network or wired Ethernet to a host system (Mac or PC), with Android access initially offered in beta. The Steam Link App will feature support for the Steam Controller, MFI controllers, and more across both platforms.


The Stream Video app lets you watch video content from Stream even when offline.

Later this summer, the Steam Video app is targeted for release, allowing users to enjoy the thousands of movies and shows available on Steam directly via their Android and iOS devices over Wi-Fi or LTE. In direct response to customer feedback, it will offer the ability to enjoy content in offline and streaming modes.

We'll let you know when the apps become available. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
