It’s been over two years since it was first revealed that Steam was in the works for a Chrome OS release. In that time, we’ve seen incremental changes that showed, again and again, the feature was moving closer to a global release.
At the 2022 Google for Games Developer Summit, a presenter offhandedly announced the Steam for Chrome OS alpha program, declaring it as having “just launched,” allegedly marking the arrival of real games for Chrome OS. That said, it doesn’t seem like it’s actually available on the web just yet. As of this writing, Google has pointed users to the Chromebook community forums to learn more, though it has yet to be updated with information on the installation process.
You’ll need an 11th-gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor and 8GB of RAM to run Steam, which pushes most budget laptops out of the conversation entirely. That said, we still don’t know officially which devices it will be running on when it becomes official.
