Valve Brings Steam Link Beta to Apple Vision Pro

TestFlight access lets Vision Pro owners try 4K 2D game streaming in a curved panoramic view from a host computer.

Overview

  • Valve released a native Steam Link client for visionOS as a TestFlight beta, so it is available to testers but not yet listed on the App Store.
  • The app streams a live video feed of games from a local PC or Mac to the headset and sends the player's inputs back to the host machine over the home network.
  • Valve says the beta supports up to 4K resolution and lets users adjust the screen’s curve in a panoramic mode for a theater-like view.
  • This client handles only traditional 2D games and does not support SteamVR or other VR content, and Valve has not announced any VR plans for Vision Pro.
  • The official client reduces reliance on third‑party workarounds like ALVR, iVRY, and services such as NVIDIA CloudXR, which could make Vision Pro gaming setup simpler for many users.
