Valve announced its partnership with Samsung at its Steam Dev Days conference in October. Valve expects any issues to be smoothed out by the time it's officially released. However, you may still encounter some niggles while using the Steam Link app - it is in beta after all. And, as we noted in our Steam Link review, streaming quality will also improve depending on how powerful your gaming rig is. Valve is promising compatibility for additional controllers soon.īe aware that if you're planning to stream powerful PC titles, it's essential you use a wired or high-quality network (at least 5GHZ, according to Valve). You can play your games using a Steam Controller (although PC Gameralso managed to hook up a Xbox 360 pad). The beta version of the app supports 1080p video at 60fps, with 4K streaming support promised in the future. Instead, just install the Steam Link app from the Samsung App Store and you're good to go. You can now play PC games on your 4K Samsung Smart TV without having to buy a Steam Link device.
