It thinks it can also make money by upselling these new players on in-game merchandise. Microsoft recently told GameSpot its strategy with game streaming is to be like Netflix, expanding access to more gamers who just have mobile devices. More than 2,000 games from the Steam library are supported through GeForce Now, which is free unless gamers choose to pay a subscription for guaranteed faster speeds. Valve works with Nvidia’s GeForce Now service, however, meaning many Steam games can also be streamed from anywhere through the cloud - developers need to add support for it to their titles, however.īuilding a cloud streaming service to rival the likes of Google Stadia or Microsoft xCloud would be an expensive task and require significant server infrastructure that Valve may not have, which likely explains its decision to go the route of partnering with Nvidia. Perfect for Mac - Steam Link is different from gaming streaming services like Google Stadia in that users stream games by connecting to their PC over their local network. The app makes it possible for Steam users to stream games from a PC to any device that supports the Steam Link app, like an iPhone or iPad.

Both systems are showing that they're connected to each other, both are requesting Authorization Codes from the other but neither are providing said codes.Valve has announced that it’s bringing its Steam Link app to macOS this week.

Utterly confused by entire process, come to Reddit for help. Enable Remote Play, says connected to PC, and requests Authorization Code. Back upstairs again, try PIN as Authorization Code (yeah, I know, but you gotta try) and repeats request. Back downstairs and.no Authorization Code showing. Try to connect manually, says to enter PIN ('0000') on host PC, run back upstairs, enter PIN, still says Mac is connected to Steam, enter PIN, says to enter Authorization Code shown on Steam Link. Run back downstairs, do a Rescan, still can't find the PC. I run upstairs, enable Remote Play, and Steam (on Windows) sees the Mac and says it's connected. First, the app can't find the host computer. I'm having some trouble getting the Steam Link app from the App Store connecting to my Windows gaming PC.
