Valve's Steam Link app is now available on iOS devices and the Apple TV, almost a year after Apple initially rejected it for "business conflicts" (This Steam Game Is Not Optimized for Your Mac). Steam Link allows you to beam your existing library of PC games to other devices on the same network; the app is Valve's replacement for a now-discontinued streaming box that carried the same name.
When Steam Link launched you needed another PC or dedicated hardware, but apps for iOS, Android and even Raspberry Pi are making it much more widely available. It's not quite cloud-streamed gaming, but anyone with a Steam account full of games, a decent connection and any of those devices suddenly has a lot more options for how they're going to play.
The news comes days after the Supreme Court ruled that Apple must face an antitrust lawsuit related to alleged monopolistic practices around the App Store. It's notable, however, that the new iOS Steam Link app doesn’t allow users to purchase games from the Steam store, unlike on Android.
