Steam Link Will Be Integrated into New Samsung TVs

Valve partners with Samsung to make PC gaming in the living room easier.

Steam Link, the device that allows PC games from Valve's Steam platform to be played TVs through a network connection, will be integrated into future Samsung TVs. The announcement was made during the Steam Dev Days conference and reported by Steam Spy on Twitter.

The integration effectively removes the need purchase a seperate piece of hardware and connect it to a TV using a HDMI cable. Naturally, you'll still need a PC powerful enough of to run the games you want to play, as well as a good internet connection to stream those games to the TV.

You'll also need a controller to play the games, such as Valve's own Steam Controller, which launched on November 10 and was priced at $49.99. It features the traditional four face buttons, as well as dual trackpads that are designed to emulate the precision of a mouse.

Holy shit! That is awesome news! Specially since Valve is supporting all kinds of controllers through steam

Great, more lag onto the already horrible input lag.

I got a 10m HDMI cable in my tv, I don't need no steam link.
