Google is testing Steam on cheap Chromebooks

Set up Steam Link on Chromebook 4

  • Google is reportedly preparing to test Steam on budget Chromebooks.
  • This means we could see Steam on Chromebooks powered by Intel N100/N200 chips.

Steam finally came to Chromebooks last year as part of a beta program, allowing you to install the gaming storefront on your Chrome OS laptop. The app was limited to Chromebooks running recent processors though, namely AMD Ryzen 3 or better and Intel Core i3 or higher.

Now, Chrome Unboxed has uncovered evidence that Google is testing or will start testing Steam on low-end Chromebooks. The outlet found references to Steam being enabled for testing on Chromebooks powered by Intel Alder Lake N and AMD Mendocino processors.
