Valve also said it would still support the Steam Link box. However, Valve said it would continue to support Steam Link software, which does not need the device to stream to mobile screens. The $50 device had been bundled with other, more useful peripherals, and even sold as low as $2.50 in the months before that. While Valve didn’t explicitly say it would never make Steam Link modules again, it did say that the remaining stock was all that was available and that they were selling out fast in Europe and the U.S.

“Business conflicts with app guidelines that had allegedly not been realized by the original review team,” was the reason, in Valve’s words.īack in November, Valve announced to users that it had discontinued the Steam Link device, which allowed streaming PC games directly to televisions. Later, Valve moved its release date to “pending further review,” and then said Apple had rejected the Steam Link app outright. When Steam Link support for mobile devices launched a year ago, iOS devices were originally supported and included in the announcement. That device allows users to stream games from a PC to a connected television. The Steam Link box itself, discontinued in November, is not necessary. Steam Link supports MFI controllers or the Steam Controller. Yesterday’s announcement from Valve said users need to connected via a 5Ghz network or a wired ethernet connection. The Steam Link allows users to play games from their Steam library on Apple TV and compatible models of the iPhone and iPad. Valve’s Steam Link app is now available for iOS devices, a year after the company originally offered the app to Apple users, only to have it rejected by the App Store.
