While this streaming feature is a great way to play games without being encumbered by sitting in front of your computer (first-world problems, am I right?) you still need a strong connection between the devices in order to properly enjoy everything Steam Link can offer. Now if you’re wondering why exactly did it take too long, look no further than Apple not getting what it deems its rightful cut whenever you buy games through Steam.Īfter a year of ironing out the details, though, you no longer have to wait to play your Steam library through your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Steam Link is now available to download for all iOS devices, as well as the Apple TV. The top-end models in Tesla's lineup both feature prices of $100,000 and above, making these pricier EVs exempt from the federal tax credit that kicks in for the cheaper Model 3 and Model Y in 2023.After about a year of waiting while Android users are already enjoying it, iOS users – like myself – finally have access to Steam’s very own game streaming service called Steam Link. It's worth noting that only Model S and X units built in the last two years can run Steam games, since they have powerful gaming computers. While the hack makes for a fun experiment, it doesn't really make sense given that a person who plays Steam games on their Tesla is likely to have a gaming rig at home too.

That should be pretty manageable if the car is parked in a garage, but it might not work in an apartment building. The only requisite for this to work, apart from being on the same local network, is that the Tesla needs to be within range of the Apple TV.

Plus, playing games on a big-screen TV at home is a much better gaming experience than using a wireless controller inside the cramped confines of a Tesla. The hack is certainly an ingenious one – by downloading the Steam Link app on the Apple TV, Tesla users can play their entire Steam library without investing in an additional gaming computer.
