Steam is a video game distribution service launched in 2004 by Valve. In this popular gaming platform, millions of gamers like me and you buy and play their favorite games. However, instead of purchasing the games physically or downloading them manually, I access Steam games online.

At present, Steam has launched a new software named Steam Link, which lets you stream games from the Steam Library on your PC to another device, with a good internet connection. We can access all the games from the official website of Steam, known as the Steam link.

Another great feature of Steam is that it is available in 28 languages worldwide and available on platforms including Android, macOS, Microsoft Windows, iOS, etc. One day, I went to Mark’s house. Mark has been a good friend of mine since my school days.

I saw that he was playing GTA 5, aka Grand Theft Auto version 5, via Steam link. GTA 5 is one of the popular video games where you have to clear multiple missions with three main playable characters, including Trevor, Michael, and Franklin.

You guys already know that I am a hardcore gamer, and since I play them on the big screen, I suggested Mark to go for Chromecast Steam link instead of playing it on a mobile.
