Nowadays, the app is the easier way to play games remotely, though you can still use the original hardware if you have it available. The physical Steam Link was discounted in November 2018, though there are still some models available to purchase online. Originally, the Steam Link was a piece of physical hardware that worked in the same way as the app, allowing users to game over the web, just requiring an HDMI connection. The Steam Link app isn’t the first iteration. As long as you’re happy being reliant on an internet connection, this is a great altenrative option to the Steam Deck. This means that you can continue playing a game from your Steam library while you’re away from home, or even play from your living room sofa if you want to watch the TV at the same time. However, Valve does recommend that users use a wired ethernet connection or a strong Wi-Fi connection for the best performance. This can be done using a local network or over the internet. You can use this app with a wireless connection to your PC.
I should mention that I use Plex from the same PC to the same Chromecast to stream 4K HDR movie rips that use more bandwidth than Steam Link and they work flawlessly.Steam Link is an app (available on Windows, iOS and Android) developed by Steam that allows users to stream Steam games from their personal PC onto another device, such as a mobile phone or tablet. It's not an interference issue but it's entirely possible it's just a firmware issue with the controller, since Microsoft can't seem to do Bluetooth right (even using Xbox controllers via Bluetooth instead of the wireless adapter on PC supposedly causes weird framerate issue somehow and I don't think it has ever been fixed). I ran a speed test on the Chromecast with Analiti and I get my full 300 down/150 up from my ISP and being that both devices are hardwired to a gigabit switch, to my primary gigabit router, the direct connection between both should be even faster.Īlso, I use like 6 other Bluetooth devices daily, including the Chromecast's own remote without issue. I might as well just move my PC every time I want to play on my TV lol.Īs I said in the post, the PC and the Chromecast are both wired (and the Chromecast is on a gigabit adapter, not the dumb official one that's limited to 100 Mbps). Kinda defeats the purpose of me doing this if I have to play at 1080p on an 82" 4K TV.
