Plus the Steam Controller is really awesome as a remote control for Windows and Linux.

So Valve might have wasted time on the Steam Controller in your opinion, but many PC gamers really loves using those Xbox and PS4 controllers in games like Dark Souls and Civilization. Now PC gamers can remap their games to support most any controller on the market even if the game NEVER intended for a controller to be used with it. The Steam Controller might not be what all PC gamers like, but it helped to create a platform for support of other controllers like the Xbox, PS4, etc. Yes, streaming games uses a lot of mobile data! But some do and enjoy trying and using new ideas. Some people just don't want or care about having certain functionalities with their PCs. I hope that other companies compete with Valve and race to make better PC experiences. My only wish is that MORE companies supported the PC like Valve does. Not long ago playing AAA games on Linux was a pipe dream and now people are playing the latest AAA games on day one without jumping through too many hoops. I guess if you used SteamOS that would make it a Steam Machine.

Nowadays you can just build a SFF PC and for free install Linux and game on it. Valve is serious about Linux gaming and they are tossing money at the issue. It was worth the $20 I paid for it just for that functionality. So Valve might have wasted time on the Steam Controller in your opinion, but many PC gamers really love using those Xbox and PS4 controllers in games like Dark Souls and Civilization. But Valve's solution is free where MS might charge for Xbox Live and more stuff. So this Valve announcement is essentially the same as what Microsoft is doing in the PC and console arena. I'm probably going to write again about how Microsoft wants you to stream Xbox Live games to Android, other consoles, etc. Yesterday I reported on Beat Saber selling over 1 million copies. Well, Valve helped to jump start VR and people said that was irrelevant. Outside of H元 what should Valve be spending their R&D budget on? This is not the 90's any more and PC game development is now just a small part of the Valve company, some would say it is disappearing forever. Doubt Gabe is concerned that MadHatter is not on board with his vision. Show me a company that is doing more to give consumers the option of moving away from the MS OS gaming stranglehold? No one wanted Steam to begin with yet here it is now the de facto standard of pc gaming stores. Does an Nvidia card let me do that with just an application install? I honestly don't know, but feel like I would have heard if it really worked that way.Īll those Valve "failures" were for a reason. Probably not there yet, but having your own home grown game streaming is a huge deal. Imagine if he could just take a chromebook over there and stream his Steam library games to his friends house. My son is going over to a friends house tonight. Hope that helps! It isn't for everyone as some will appreciate the functionality more than others. I believe that I could stream at 4K from my PC to my phone using mobile data. The picture quality can be controlled in the app on the PC and phone. The faster the connection your PC and phone have dictates how beautiful the streamed game looks on your phone. That took a few seconds more as I read and followed the instructions.Īfter setup, your PC at home can be used to stream your games to your smartphone. The "hard part" was typing the codes into Steam on my phone and PC to pair them. This customization process took me 3 - 5 seconds to figure out and 15 seconds to implement.
Love the D-pad on controllers but hate the analog sticks? You can set it up the way you want. You can place a virtual PS4 / Xbox controller overlay on your phone with completely custom controls. Click to expand.With this you could access your PC with your phone while waiting in the doctor's office.
