Valve’s move to expand PC game streaming via Steam Link comes as Google is expected to announce a major game streaming effort at next week’s Game Developers Conference and shortly after Microsoft showed off a new demo of its Project xCloud streaming service in an episode of Inside Xbox. “A high upload speed from your computer and strong network connection to your Steam Link device are required to use Steam Link Anywhere,” Valve said. The Steam Link Anywhere update currently supports the dedicated (and discontinued) Steam Link hardware, a Rasperry Pi running Steam Link software, and Android devices via the Steam Link app. Steam Link Anywhere, now in beta, moves streaming of Steam games outside of the home. Previously, streaming games via Steam Link required both the PC and the device it was streaming to to be on the same home network. Play remotely from your Xbox console Play games installed on your Xbox console, including Xbox Game Pass titles, on any compatible PC, Android, or iOS device. An update for Steam Link, dubbed Steam Link Anywhere, now lets users stream games from their gaming PC to another device over an internet connection. Play games from your console straight to your PC, phone or tablet over the internet with Xbox remote play.
