When it arrived, it was an alpha build only available on some Chromebook devices.\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Google mentioned in interviews in early 2020 that they are working with Valve to support Steam on ChromeOS, the operating system that makes its range of lightweight, low-power laptops.  There was then no further mention of it until this past week, when Google Product Director for Games, Greg Hartell, announced during a keynote at Google&#8217;s Games Developer Summit that &#8220;Steam Alpha has just launched.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that it was premature.  &#8220;As you may have already heard, our team is working with Valve to bring Steam to Chrome OS,&#8221; says a community post from Google.  &#8220;We &#038; # 39; re excited to share that we&#8217;ll be landing an early, alpha quality version of Steam on Chrome OS in the Dev Channel for a small set of Chromebooks soon. Please come back to the forum for more information!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>There are no official announcements about what Chromebooks Steam will support, but a recently posted code change apparently includes a list.  It includes Chromebooks from Acer, ASUS and HP.\n<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that many Chromebooks may not be able to run Steam, or many of the games will run on Steam.  That\u2019s because many Chromebooks are specifically designed to be cheap, low-power devices.  I own a Chromebook that would struggle if I opened more than six browser tabs, even though I like it for many other reasons.  This may change in the near future, however, with Google working reported on Chromebooks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n    function appendFacebookPixels() {\n      if (window.facebookPixelsDone) return;\n      !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n      {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n      n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n      if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n      n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n      t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n      s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n      '<\/p>\n<p>        fbq('init', '700623604017080');<\/p>\n<p>      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n      window.facebookPixelsDone = true;<\/p>\n<p>      window.dispatchEvent(new Event('BrockmanFacebookPixelsEnabled'));\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    window.addEventListener('BrockmanTargetingCookiesAllowed', appendFacebookPixels);\n  <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has announced that Steam will be coming to ChromeOS &#8220;soon&#8221; &#8211; but not before announcing its availability elo and then backtracking.
