However, I am not a man to take restrictions lightly. Just pair a Bluetooth controller or Steam Controller to your device, connect to a computer running Steam on the same local network, and start playing your existing Steam games. The Steam Link app brings desktop gaming to your Android device. So you could suggest that it's been supported from at least since then.When Valve announced the Steam Link app, I was incredibly happy - finally I would be able to play my PC games anywhere I wanted… But when it was launched, it came with a caveat: I could not find any information as to when non-Steam entries started showing up across machines, but Steam Client changelog from mentions this:įixed a bug where non-Steam games would use a desktop configuration when streaming if the controller wasn’t opted into Steam Input support. So at least we know for sure that this functionality is intentional and thus likely is not going to be removed. This is a feature of Steam In-Home Streaming. If your game loses focus, Steam will start streaming the desktop so that you can get back to it. Streaming non-Steam games in the Steam library may work but is not officially supported.Īs for the old (rather hacky) method with alt-tabbing to desktop, the same article states: This is what Steam Support articles have to say about the feature: For example, the picture below shows the wordpad.exe entry: You can stream any programs this way, not just games. If the game is not in the list, you can click BROWSE. You need to be on the same network and the clients should see each other, otherwise the shortcut will not appear.Īll you need to do is open the library on the host machine and click ADD A GAME in the bottom left corner, then click Add a Non-Steam Game. As of October 2018, any non-steam shortcuts added to the Steam client on the host machine will also appear in the Library tabs in those clients that can potentially stream games from there.
