Steam Link started its life as a dedicated piece of hardware designed to stream Steam content from a computer to another connected device like a phone or a tablet, offering support for a Steam or other MFi controller to boot.

By many accounts, the MacOS version of Steam has a reputation for being a little clunky and unintuitive, taking up a less-than-ideal 1GB of space. Apple have done its best to claw back market share, though, especially with its successes in the mobile sector, and a new lightweight app from Steam looks set to help with that.Īpple fans rejoiced back in 2010 when Valve announced that a MacOS version of the Steam client was incoming, but the road since then has had its bumps.
