Steamlink

PC gaming on your phone.

Free

Ah, but I hear the PC gamers cry out “What about us?” and that’s where Steamlink comes in. It’s not a new app by any means but on today’s larger phones it makes a lot more sense. Steamlink is quite similar to the Xbox offering but instead it works with the popular PC gaming platform Steam. What’s quite useful about this is Steam lets you add games from other services on your PC so you can end up streaming a lot more than your Steam games.

Steamlink also has a few options over the Xbox app like being able to place onscreen buttons to use as a controller. However, I also found the experience to also be a bit less slick. Menus especially had a low resolution and it seemed to have more connection issues.

Again, a lot of this will depend on your home setup, including your connections, phone, and PC, but it’s super cool to have the option.
