Android Users Can Enjoy Steam Link App Now

Valve's steam link app available for Android now! And you can know how does it works in the following contents. Besides that, our top app store optimization services and guides can boost your app rank into top 1 of app store fast and safely.

The Steam Link app itself is relatively straightforward. Once you install it, you have to pair it with a PC running Steam on your local network (and possibly install a driver or two). Then you can play PC games from your Android device, assuming the network connection is fast enough. After asking you to sync a controller (a Steam Controller or any generic bluetooth input will work), it scans the network for computers running Steam. The first time you connect to any given computer, you have to enter a four-digit code to prove the connection is wanted (and possibly install some Steam driver updates to enable the stream).

Even on a "fantastic" in-home network Wi-Fi environment, though, the quality of the mobile streaming depended a lot on the resolution and visual detail of the game being played. Streaming a title like the supremely underrated Super Puzzle Platformer to my iPad Air only required about 4,000Kbps of my router's bandwidth, according to Steam Link's reports, and ran without a hitch. A game like 2016's Doom reboot, on the other hand, needed more like 12,000Kbps of overhead, which led to some intermittent screen tearing and split-second stuttering at especially intense points.

Wireless range could also end up being an issue with 5GHz Wi-Fi. Playing in the same room as the 5GHz router, I was able to maintain a solid connection with only the intermittent problems mentioned above. Testing in my bedroom two floors away, though, I found the generally solid connection would often drop out completely for seconds at a time, effectively freezing my view of the game as the network struggled to catch up. When the streaming resolved itself a few seconds later, I was often lost, damaged, or dead in whatever title I was playing.
