What happens if you\u2019re gaming on your desktop Windows PC but want to continue the game from a different part of the house \u2014 or even out of the house? If you\u2019re using Steam<\/a>, Valve\u2019s PC gaming destination, you can get around the first part of this dilemma by using Steam Link<\/a>, an in-home game streaming solution that uses your local network. And now, there\u2019s a way around the second as well \u2014 with some caveats. <\/p>\n

While the recent release of the Steam Deck<\/a> has provided gamers with a new way to play games away from their desktop, the Steam Link feature lets you stream your games from anywhere using an Android or Apple device with an internet connection (R.I.P Steam Link Box<\/a>). Even though Steam Link has been out of beta for some time, the service can still be an uphill battle even for power users, so don\u2019t be surprised if you experience inconsistent connectivity or performance. <\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s get started on setting up Steam game streaming from one desktop to another or between your desktop and your mobile device. <\/p>\n

Make sure you\u2019ve got a good router or wired ethernet<\/h2>\n

This should maybe go without saying, but your network needs to be robust \u2014 if your Wi-Fi is weak, slow, congested, or there\u2019s too much interference, you won\u2019t see great results. With a wired ethernet connection on both ends, Steam streaming can feel practically seamless inside your own home, but it can be completely unplayable with a poor wireless link. Just keep that in mind. <\/p>\n
