Games

Steam Link

Steam Link streams existing Steam games from a compatible local computer to iPhone or iPad.

Our take

Consider for an owned-game setup on a strong home network

A supported controller and wired host can make a couch setup practical.

Keep in mind: Requires a computer running Steam on the same local network; not standalone cloud gaming or included game purchases. Game/controller compatibility and latency vary.

What you can do

  • Pair a supported controller
  • Connect to an eligible Steam host
  • Stream a compatible owned game

Good for

  • Users with the required computer/network

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting games to run solely on the phone

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Requires a computer running Steam on the same local network; not standalone cloud gaming or included game purchases. Game/controller compatibility and latency vary.

Privacy & permissions

Pairing exposes access to the host computer; approve only trusted devices and networks.
