Steam Link for iOS

Steam Link sends your Steam games from a computer to your phone, and on this page you can download the Steam Link IPA for iOS to run it on iPhone or iPad. The streaming happens over your own home network.

About Steam Link

The idea behind the app is simple. The game keeps running on your computer, and only the picture and controls travel between the two devices. That lets a phone or tablet show titles that it could never run natively, and it means your whole library is within reach without installing anything extra on the handheld. The app was designed with low lag in mind, since delay between a press and the response on screen is the main thing that ruins streamed play.

Control is flexible. When you want a console-like feel, pair a compatible controller with the phone. When you do not have a gamepad nearby, the on-screen touch controls take over, so you can still play from the sofa or from another room. The interface is intentionally plain and quick to understand.

Things to know

The listing warns that frame rate drops may appear on iPhone SE models. Since the game itself runs elsewhere, the quality of your Wi-Fi matters more than the specs of the phone, so a stable connection to the router is the first thing to check. This is the standard app, not a modified one, and no extra purchases are mentioned.

To start streaming, find Steam Link on builds.io and the IPA installs on your iPhone or iPad with one tap, no PC needed for the installation.
