It's in beta for android (and seems to work well for most people) but was rejected by apple :angry:

it basically does the exact same thing as the hardware steam link but streams games to your phone
thoughts?

My phone gets less than 1 fps when I try to stream to it. Good idea if you have a decent phone though.

It's really shit with my Nintendo pro controller maybe I didn't set it up right. I use a pixel 2 xl and switch pro controller but the controller just lags and the buttons are all fucked. I can't even calibrate it or auto-calibrate it. It does show up in the steam app. Maybe it was because I was casting my phone screen to my TV but idk so far it sucks

Also the touch control are really bad, I tried playing Eldritch with it and it wasn't working

you need to be on the same 5GHz network

it's got nothing to do with your internet speeds, only local network

have used this in conjunction with the steam controller, is actually pretty nice if i just wanna lay in my bed and play some games from my phone instead of sitting at my computer or television (I also have the steam link hardware). Depending on how it performs on your phone (works great for me, original Pixel XL on 5G 802.11 a/c) this has a ton more utility than the regular Steam Link, with its only practical use case being wanting to play pc games on your living room/bedroom television. Also really happy to see that Valve haven't introduced a paywall or restricted support to only the steam controller, gives lots of accessibility to the use of the app to the point where other than the use case I described above the regular steam link hardware becomes inferior (assuming your phone is capable of streaming the games and you have a 5G connection).

Does anyone here have the Razer phone, and if so, do they know if you're able to uplink 120fps from the steam link app? That would be an incredibly neat combo of hardware/software.
