Not only are PC games obviously not designed to be played on phones necessitating some kind of external gamepad, but games are streamed rather than played locally. Of course, opening up your iPhone to the 30,000-odd games that are on Steam doesn’t offer the same clean experience as buying a game from the App Store. It looks like the differences have been worked out – possibly because it’s no longer an option to buy games directly through the app any more. The Android version has been around since last year, but a release on iPhone was originally blocked by Apple. That means everything in your Steam Library can be streamed to your iOS device, the same as it can on Android, Raspberry Pi or the physical Steam Link Box that Valve discontinued. Today, the company has released a version of its Steam Link app for the three Apple devices, bringing genuine PC gaming to iOS. Before you purchase another throw-away 79p app for your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, you may want to have a look at what Half-Life creators Valve are up to.
