Last month, Steam introduced Steam Remote Play in its beta phase to enjoy online multiplayer games on Windows, Linux, and macOS-only devices.
But today comes the announcement of the next phase of this feature, which is to support smart devices running Android or iOS in order to enjoy the same feature that was originally intended for PC users only.
As Valve has stated so far, there must be a player playing the host; this player installs the game to be played and run. The player then invites his friends on the computer via Steam Remote Play or on mobile devices via the Steam Chat and Steam Link software. Other players don't have to buy the game.
We have not yet tested the service provided by the network on mobile devices running on Android and iOS platforms, which does not make us aware of the network problems we may face while sharing games with each other, but if we talk technically, the host device may play a role The server is particularly reliable for connections.
The service was shown in a live stream by Valve to show the service on the famous Cuphead, but it was clear that the service was stable in terms of connection quality and the number of frames displayed per second.
