It’s clear that everybody wants to turn 2019 into the year of cloud gaming. Google also has been teasing its Game Developers Conference to learn more about its gaming projects. Microsoft recently showed off Forza Horizon 4 running on an Android phone thanks to Project xCloud. That would turn Steam Link Anywhere into a Shadow competitor. Now let’s see if Valve plans to flip the switch and let you run Steam games on a server in a data center near you. If you don’t have a fiber connection at home, the latency might simply be too high to play any game. With Steam Link Anywhere, your performance will vary depending on your home internet connection. Steam Link works fine on a local network, especially if you use Ethernet cables between all your devices. You can start Steam on your computer and play demanding PC games on other screens. Once the Steam package has been downloaded to your Raspberry Pi, we need to install it. Unfortunately, Valve still hasn’t found a way to release its Steam Link app on the App Store for iOS devices and the Apple TV. You can now download the Steam Link app on an Android phone, an Android TV device or a Raspberry Pi. While Valve might be done on the hardware side, the company is still iterating on Steam Link apps. The company’s strategy is a bit puzzling here as Valve recently discontinued its hardware set-top box, the Steam Link.
As the name suggests, it lets you turn your gaming PC into a cloud gaming server and stream games from… anywhere. As PC Gamer spotted, the company quietly released a beta version of Steam Link Anywhere. And of course, the Raspberry Pi has a bunch of uses beyond being a game streaming box, too.Valve doesn’t want to miss the cloud gaming bandwagon. And voilà, you've got a fully functional DIY Steam Link box, easy to connect with a range of gamepads and at $35 probably a lot cheaper than upgrading your router for stutter-free gameplay. Just make sure you're running the "Stretch" version of Pi's OS (which has been default anyway since August 2017) and drop in a few lines ( here). On Monday, Valve's Sam Lantinga announced that the Steam Link app is now available in beta form on the Raspberry Pi 3 and 3 B+. Valve, however, is offering an alternative, and it comes in the form of Raspberry Pi. The Steam Link app continues to live on in mobile devices and smart TVs, so it's not the end of days, but this doesn't offer the same latency-mitigating clout as Ethernet-wired hardware. The simple black micro PCs designed to let you play games in the living room - or anywhere else in the house away from your gaming rig - is sold out everywhere and it seems Valve has no plans to produce more.
