What’s more, the app is said to work on all 20 4K Samsung TVs, so even those who have already bought a 4K set in the last year should be able to make use of the new functionality. Now, Samsung has finally added a beta version of Valve’s Steam Link app to its official app store, allowing gamers to stream their PC games to their TV through a local network.

The news was announced at the Steam Dev Days conference back in October 2016, and meant those who bought one of Sammy’s new TVs would be able to stream their gaming exploits without having to buy the actual Steam Link box. I'm so glad I looked into this, lol.Last year we heard Samsung would be integrating Steam technology into its smart TVs to allow users to stream PC games to the sets. I've only tried three games so far (Undermine, Dead Cells, and Hollow Knight), but no issues with any of them. I got it paired with my DS4 controller instantly with no issues (doesn't even require being hooked up to a PC to do), and the Steam Link app works flawlessly. I mean honestly, I wish everything were this easy to use, lol. It was SUPER easy to update the firmware and use.

Update: So I got my 8bitdo bluetooth adapter today. The reason that I haven't just tried it out, is then I would need to figure out how to hook up my PS4 controller to my TV. But if it doesn't work as well, then I'll stick with what I have. I was curious how good it is? The main reason why I would want to use it over the physical box is that's one less thing to have plugged into my TV and router (I prefer to have everything wired if possible for faster connections). It's so simple, and easy, and just all around amazing! I also have a decent smart TV than can use the Steam Link TV app.

I have a physical Steam Link, and I love it.
