In the meantime though, there's a pretty good consolation prize. We’re doing everything we can to resolve the issues." "We want to apologise for the delays in providing full functionality for the Mac platform. "We expect these problems to be resolved as we update firmware and drivers over the next few weeks," Valve says. An upcoming update is planned to address the issues, restoring streaming audio and video, and getting the controller working as it should. However, the problems will hopefully only be shortlived.

And be careful, do not think about playing with the keyboard and the Magic Mouse.Affected users have been contacted by Valve, with an email saying the problems are due to "temporary software issues that prevent the hardware from functioning with Macs". Because it will be much more comfortable for certain titles. Of course, to enjoy more of the remote gaming experience on Mac, the ideal is to connect a PlayStation or Xbox controller to the Mac. Of course, as we always say, anyway the important thing is to have the maximum number of possibilities and for each one to decide. So the real interest of Steam Link we believe is more in taking advantage of it with mobile devices as a iPhone, iPad or any Android device and even Samsung televisions or Android TV that also support this application. The only thing is that the bandwidth is good enough both in the home connection and in the one that is connected so that there is no type of LAG.įor the rest, unless the Mac is very weak or a game that is only for Windows, Steam can also be run on Mac. So they could take full advantage of remote play, virtually regardless of the actual location. The reason seems obvious, Steam Link on Mac will be interesting for all those users who mainly have and can opt for a VPN connection that allows them to simulate that they are within the same local home network. However, although the version of Steam Link for Mac is already available via the Mac App Store, the news is not that it seems to be very important for Valve who has not made any kind of announcement highlighting the fact. Something that for some users is important due to their little knowledge of digital security. And this is interesting because it brings new game options to the Apple user and also other advantages such as the security provided by having passed the filters and reviews of the App Store. Well, now that remote gaming solution is also available for the Mac through the Mac App Store.

Virtually all the games your computer runs can be played on your device via the Steam Link. Video and audio data is sent from your computer to the Steam Link, while the controller input is returned in real time. The Steam Link is designed to harness the power you already have in your home, streaming from your current gaming computer, mirroring your experience on your device.
