If Valve wants iOS users to enjoy PC-to-iPhone (or iPad) game streaming, it seems like some sacrifices are inevitable - we’ll just have to wait and see exactly what gets ditched to meet Apple's stringent App Store requirements.
The app is free and lets you stream PC games to your phone. To comply with Apple’s guidelines, Valve may have to make significant changes to exactly which Steam features iPad and iPhone users can access - changes that could severely limit the Steam experience on iOS, especially compared to what Android users can access. Here I'm sharing my experience with the Steam Link App (BETA) on Android. Although Apple has opened a line of communication with Valve, that’s no guarantee that the Steam Link app will appear on the App Store any time soon.Īccording to Apple, Valve broke App Store guidelines surrounding "user generated content, in-app purchases content codes", meaning the reasons for rejection include some of Steam's most integral elements.Īpple takes a 30% cut of all apps and games sold on its store, but with the Steam Link app allowing users to make purchases outside the App Store, Apple likely isn’t too happy about losing out on that revenue.
