If you're thinking of trying out Steam Link on your Apple device, there are a couple of caveats: according to the App Store listing (and unlike other versions of Steam Link), the iOS app can only connect via local network, which is particularly weird given Steam Link was recently expanded to allow connection to any PC via the internet. Playing Skyrim with touch controls is a bit of a nightmare - using a Steam controller or MFi controller is probably your best bet. Apple didn't clarify exactly what it meant, but it seems likely the company didn't want another app store (Steam) to be accessible to iOS users - despite the iOS version of Steam Link not allowing direct purchases from the Steam Store (thanks, The Verge).Įarlier this week, however, the US Supreme Court passed a ruling saying Apple can be sued for monopolisation - and perhaps this decision swayed Apple to finally budge on the Steam Link issue (via ). The app, which connects your Steam PC library to other devices to allow you to play games remotely, has been available on Android since May last year - but Apple rejected it on the grounds of "business conflicts with app guidelines". Any input would be great.Nearly a year after Apple rejected Valve's game streaming app, Steam Link has finally been approved for iOS and Apple TV - meaning you can now stream Skyrim straight from your Steam library to your iPhone. So I'm not opposed to a switch to apple tv anyway. I currently have FireTV cubes in the house with third part launchers but it's been increasingly annoying to keep the FireTV from switching back to it's ad ridden interface. A nicer picture would be nice.Ĭan Apple TV get me a better picture than the link hardware? So input latency really isn't that big of a deal. To be honest, I only play one PC game that I can't get on console which is American Truck Simulator. I have it set to the "beautiful" setting on the Link but I notice the compression is pretty bad at times. The experience seems OK as far as latency but the picture isn't the best (1080p). I'm currently trying a SteamLink wired to Ethernet.

I'm trying to find a decent solution to stream it to my living room TV. How is local game streaming on the Streamlink app with an Apple TV 4k? My PC has a GTX 1080 and 2.5gbs nic.


I searched through r/appletv a bit but didn't see much recently about this.
