Valve Launches Steam Link Beta for Apple Vision Pro

The test app brings wireless 2D game streaming in up to 4K to the headset through a panoramic virtual screen.

Overview

  • Valve's Steam Link, which entered TestFlight on Tuesday, lets Vision Pro owners stream non‑VR Steam games from a nearby PC or Mac over a home network.
  • Valve says the client supports up to 4K resolution and offers a curved panoramic view that users can adjust to taste.
  • The current build is 2D only and does not run SteamVR or other VR titles, and Valve has not shared a timeline for any VR support.
  • Early hands-on reports highlight crisp visuals but note menu lag, UI flicker, and input delay that rise on slower Wi‑Fi, so a strong network and a paired game controller are key.
  • The app is not on the App Store yet and follows third‑party workarounds like ALVR and newer options like NVIDIA CloudXR, pointing to a broader yet still forming gaming path on Vision Pro.
