Reviews for Steam Link

Streaming works well if you have a good connection on both the host and the receiving device. The main issue I encountered is that no matter what settings or configuration I set (even per game controller profiles in big picture) I cannot get games to accept input from my bluetooth xbox one controller. The controller […]

It’s super useful for streaming media from your pc to your phone or tablet. Even if you’re not using big picture mode, you can still stream and interact with your desktop remotely. My only complaint is that having a mesh network or being plugged into a router other than the main one causes noticeable and […]

Wow!! Your app works really good for still being in beta. I connected my phone to my pc without even being on the same network. My wife had to push in the 4 digit pin but that’s barely an inconvenience. I’m able to play all my steam games!! Sure there are some difficulties like when […]

A nice app to stream your PC to your phone using steam, but does have some latency issues, and can sometimes become unplayable. Other than that, it’s one of (if not, the best) apps to stream your PC to your phone/tablet. Not only that, but you can also connect a controller to your phone through […]

It generally works great.. It tries a little too hard to act as a controller, though, rather than letting the touchscreen be a mouse, and it attempts to outsmart the user by changing what input schemes are available based on what it thinks is happening, instead of letting the user control it. There’s also an […]

This works well, and does what it says. The reviews I see here are kind of missing the point. If you want to play on your phone, use a Kishi or similar controller. If you want to play on your TV, use a Chromecast and Xbox/PlayStation controller. Streaming works well if you have a good […]

Works really well with good quality streaming for your pc, the problem I’m having is a known issue for quite a while, my steam controller doesnt stay connected longer than a minute at a time. Gone through all manners of troubleshooting with support to no avail. I’m using the Note 10. Controller connects to my […]

Functions about as well as could be expected, though I could do with a more stable connection and less latency. Even playing something like Portal 2 can be a struggle but it’s playable. The control customization is very comprehensive and some games even have custom layouts with special icons and input methods, which makes them […]

This works great if you have all the necessary components. If you have a fairly recent GPU and a hard-line connection on your host, and at least an Wi-Fi AC (WiFi 5?) connection on your client, streaming your games should be flawless. Anything below these specs, and you’ll run into problems with latency and stuttering. […]

Well, it’s a good idea. But I have a few bits of advice: 1. If you’re using the mobile device as a controller, there’s no way to pull up the steam overlay in-game. 2. You should mark games as mobile friendly, for example, Final Fantasy XV isn’t suited for the platform, and The Room games […]

Tried this years ago and it was a dumpster fire. Now I can play on the TV at home or on the tablet when traveling – performance is awesome. For best results: 1) Use a mainstream controller that gets lots of support (Xbox is ideal). 2) Ensure the games come from Steam and that they […]

I wasn’t sure if this would work very well considering network latency is such a huge problem with real-time streaming. However I have a pretty good Nighthawk “gaming” router, my connection is almost always stable and my speed is good, so I thought I’d give it a try. Color me impressed! I was able to […]

This is fairly good in terms of connecting and being able to control your games with your phone. Not only does it not require any super-specific devices, it also feels as smooth as your connection to the steam library. Although I do not like how difficult it is to use a bluetooth connected controller to […]

Pretty good for a beta release. Was able to play through the entirety of Resident Evil 5 on my phone using a DS4 controller. My biggest issues are the app forces big picture open on your PC which is unsupported in certain games with no option to turn it off, and if a game requires […]

Finally an option (and reason) to play GOOD games on my phone, for those slow days at work or in bed. Needs improvement, but it mostly works. If you’re not playing on decent WiFi, there can be hiccups which can make it difficult. I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone to expect to play competitively, but it’s […]

I’ve invested in setting up my home network to use the old physical Steam Link boxes, and having the ability to extend playing to my phone is nice. The touch controls aren’t always the best, but are usable in most cases. While it’s not the intended use, it does double as a pretty ok remote […]

The app is very clean and when connected locally, I get really good connection results even over wifi. It’s not perfect by any means, but I can play games like fishing planet with no real issue. However, trying to switch games is an impossibly annoying feat. I tried testing American truck simulator, and it didn’t […]

3-stars for the fact that this exists. However, It requires me to connect all plug-ins/bluetooth devices to my actual PC in-order to use. I have a bluetooth mouse, keyboard, multiple controllers that successfully connect, and all of them work on all my devices. I can see the mouse pointer on the screen. Using my mouse […]

The concept is exactly what we all want. In practice… It doesn’t work. It does exactly what it is supposed to until you actually start a game. At which point the game plays just fine on the PC but the audio and visual on the phone freeze immediately. You have to go to the PC […]

this is the greatest thing I’ve ever used. I use my pixel 7 and a $50 controller that holds my phone. that’s exactly like an Xbox controller and it works. it works perfectly. the only thing that might lag is if you’re playing something like call of duty. if you’re playing something like Indiana Jones […]
