Steam on Chromebooks now officially. Which models support the Valve platform?

As we wrote a week ago, Chromebooks are the perfect choices for office work and media browsing. These are mainly cheaper laptops with mediocre specifications that use the ChromeOS system with a very limited number of supported applications. So it’s a surprise that Steam on Chromebooks is now officially available.

Google has officially released the Steam platform on Chromebooks

Today, Google, after a rather subtle announcement, has published instructions on how to run Steam on ChromeOS on supported hardware. Unfortunately, this is not much, because the requirement includes newer devices – models with Intel Iris Xe graphics, 11th generation Core i5 or i7 processors and at least 8 GB of RAM.

  • ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5 (CX5500)
  • ASUS Chromebook CX9 (CX9400)
  • HP Pro c640 G2 Chromebook

Google warns of potential stability issues and a not particularly simple installation process. However, when you deal with it, you will be able to play a number of games checked by Google in versions tailored for Linux, including:

  • Portal 2
  • Dota 2
  • Team Fortress 2
  • Half-Life 2 Celeste
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
