Keep in mind: if you already have the physical Steam Link in your home, it’s going to keep working and stay supported for the foreseeable future. But if you want to start using a Steam Link today, you’ll probably have to buy one used.
请记住:如果您已经在家中拥有实体的Steam Link,它将在可预见的未来继续保持工作并保持支持。 但是,如果您想今天开始使用Steam Link,则可能必须购买一台二手的。
Thankfully, the Steam Link app on Android works just like the physical Steam Link does. And using it on an Android TV box like the NVIDIA SHIELD TV gives you a one-stop shop for your PC games, games from the Google Play Store, and all your favorite video streaming services.
值得庆幸的是,Android上的Steam Link应用程序的运行方式与物理Steam Link一样。 并在NVIDIA SHIELD TV等Android电视盒上使用它,可以为您的PC游戏,Google Play商店中的游戏以及所有您喜欢的视频流媒体服务提供一站式商店。
Steam Link isn’t the only option for PC gamers to get their games on another screen. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, you can useNVIDIA’s GameStream toolto stream games from your desktop to your other devices, or stream them straight from NVIDIA’s servers with NVIDIA GeForce Now.
Steam Link并非PC游戏玩家将游戏放到另一个屏幕上的唯一选择。 如果您具有NVIDIA GPU,则可以使用NVIDIA的GameStream工具将游戏从桌面流式传输到其他设备,或者使用NVIDIA GeForce Now从NVIDIA服务器直接流式传输。

如何在Android设备上设置Steam链接(How To Set Up Steam Link on Your Android Device)

Here’s what you need to get started before using Steam Link:
使用Steam Link之前,您需要先开始以下步骤:
A game controller for your device. The SHIELD TV’s included controller works, or you can use a Bluetooth controller with Android TV. You can’t use a Chromebook’s keyboard and touchpad, so you’ll need to use it in touchscreen mode orpair a Bluetooth controller. The same goes for streaming to your smartphone.
您设备的游戏控制器。 SHIELD TV随附的控制器可以工作,或者您可以将Bluetooth控制器与Android TV一起使用。 您无法使用Chromebook的键盘和触摸板,因此需要在触摸屏模式下使用它或与Bluetooth控制器配对 。 流式传输到智能手机也是如此。
The Steam Link app from the Google Play Store.
Google Play商店中的Steam Link应用 。
While Steam Link will work over Wi-Fi, you’ll have a much better time if your device (such as Android TV box or Chromebook) is wired in with Ethernet. If plugging in Ethernet isn’t feasible, make sure your device is connected to 5GHz Wi-Fi and sitting as close to your router as possible.
尽管Steam Link可以通过Wi-Fi运行,但是如果您的设备(例如Android电视盒或Chromebook)通过以太网进行连接,您将拥有更好的时间。 如果无法插入以太网,请确保您的设备已连接到5GHz Wi-Fi,并尽可能靠近路由器。

I’m using the Steam Link app on Android TV for this guide, so the screenshots may look slightly different if you’re following along on a Chromebook or smartphone, but the process is still the same.
本指南使用的是Android TV上的Steam Link应用程序,因此,如果您在Chromebook或智能手机上进行操作,则屏幕截图可能会略有不同,但是过程仍然相同。
Start by opening the Steam Link app on your device. Select “Get Started.”The Steam Link app will scan your local network to find a computer with In-Home Streaming enabled. Itshouldfind your desktop with no problems, but you can rescan if Steam Link doesn’t find it the first time. Select your computer name.
首先打开设备上的Steam Link应用。 选择“入门”。 Steam Link应用程序将扫描您的本地网络以查找启用了家庭流媒体的计算机。 它应该可以正常找到您的桌面,但是如果Steam Link第一次找不到它,您可以重新扫描。 选择您的计算机名称。
Note: Steam has to be actively running on your PC before Steam Link can find it.
注意:Steam必须在PC上积极运行,然后Steam Link才能找到它。
The Steam Link app will show a four-digit PIN, and you’ll see a notification on Steam on your desktop. Enter the PIN on your desktop and select “OK.”
Steam Link应用程序将显示一个四位数的PIN,并且您会在桌面上的Steam上看到一条通知。 在桌面上输入PIN,然后选择“确定”。
Steam Link will run a network test to check the connection between your desktop and your device. If one or both of the devices are plugged in with Ethernet, everything should be good. If Steam Link says the connection is too slow, plug into Ethernet, or double check and make sure you’re using a 5GHz Wi-Fi. If it’s still not working, you may need to purchase a faster router. When the connection is fast enough, select “Start Playing.”
