LG once signed a deal with game streaming subscription service OnLive to include an app for LG-branded Android TV-based HDTVs. This isn’t the first time we have seen a marriage between streaming game services and smart TVs.
Steam’s in-home streaming service is completely free to use. Valve said in June that a Steam Controller is required even though the Samsung app seems to work just fine with an Xbox 360 controller. Hints of a dedicated app for Samsung smart TVs surfaced in October 2016 that would eliminate the need for Valve’s set-top box. That initiative also included the creation of a unique gamepad (Steam Controller) and a set-top box (Steam Link) for extending a Steam Machine’s reach–– or any capable gaming PC, for that matter - to other TVs in the house. The company wanted to compete directly with consoles in the living room arena by getting computer manufacturers to create powerful, compact desktops capable of high-resolution PC gaming. Steam Link first hit the market in early 2015 as part of Valve Software’s Steam Machines initiative. It’s compatible with mouse and keyboard-based input, Valve’s Steam Controller, and third-party game controllers for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Typically sold for $50, the box initiates the Big Picture mode on the host PC gaming machine to provide a streamed, console-like interface. However, Valve Software also provides a stand-alone set-top box called Steam Link that merely serves as a client device and connects directly to an HDTV.
