The Steam Link was just a $50 HDMI box at that time, and it could stream games from your computer to a television in another room. The company introduces a number of hardware and other products to expand how people can interact with their Steam library. Steam Link is a brand that Valve launched in 2015.

Valve is launching a beta version of its Steam Link app on Android today.
