Gaming on Chromebooks. It's been a topic we've discussed in so many ways over the years. From web-based games to Android games to streaming games via Stadia or GeForce Now...it has become clear that people want to be able to get a bit of gaming done on their Chromebooks. The method of gaming we've been waiting for the longest, though, is Steam. Announced as an official work in progress back in January of 2020, I think I speak for everyone that's been keeping up with all this when I say it's been a long, long time coming. But that wait is now officially over as Steam is finally launching on Chrome OS!

My fav bit is when he got to the point
can you lave a time stamp
I don't get the 11th gen requirement. I've a 10th gen Acer 713 and I'm sure I can play some casual games with that.
Yeh, you can play casual like Windows .
Probably has to do with Pcie 4.0
Or them trying to make you buy a new one / stop you from buying an older one
i play second gen so i hope they make it available for all of them
My guess is it's a GPU thing. Unless companies make Chromebooks with dedicated GPUs, you'll have to stick with the one built into your processor and Intel has been recycling the same integrated graphics for a long while, up until their 11th gen CPUs.
With its 11th gen processors they introduced Iris Xe, which is a new integrated graphics solution that will perform significantly better. Still not to the level of a dedicate GPU, but it's a great improvement none the less.
You can definitely play games on a 10th core, but if they want to make sure the gaming experience is at least somewhat smooth for all users then they want to set the bar a bit higher for who the users are
I wish they'll let smaller configs install Steam as well : all I want is to play old titles like Half-Life (1) or small 2D indi games like Kingdom New Lands.
Lutris?
You could install it via Linux and play it
@@Jan7727 that comes with a drawback of everything being virtualized and therefore having severe performance penalty which of course doesnt complement the lower end chromebooks' hardware
@@im_tem Use kvm dude, it runs on bare-metal
@@denis.96 use kvm on chrome os? also doesnt solve gpu acceleration issue at all, games will run slow on chromebooks using this method
I am hopeful that at some point Google will allow (or more likely clever folk will find an unofficial loophole for) people to install Steam on lower-end chipset. Once that happens I just want to install some digital board games, 2D platformers, and the furthest I'd push my current Chromebook is Portal 1 & 2.

Every time someone asks me about Chromebooks or Chromebox. My answer is never buy a cheap one. Always get the one with better specs. I know you'll spend more $$$ but you will love how smooth your Chromebook will be.
Advice I should have taken, but I was poor and in need of a laptop. Now I'm dealing with a shitbox that can't even run something as simple as a discord voice chat without continuously crashing.

@@alexjones8843 same
@@alexjones8843 my laptop cant even handle pacman
Can you name some?
I was wainting for this thing since I bought my CX5 this Christmas !!
I would love to see the ability to use this with Chrome OS flex, on a custom build. It would be amazing to have an easy option, other than Windows, for a gaming PC. The possibilities are very exciting!
One of the first thoughts I had as well. If it is possible, the graphics options would be superior in so many cases not to mention the rest of the specs likely being higher as well.
Agree, but Flex will need to be a lot more mature before they open up installation of any applications on it.
You could use the brunch method of installing full chrome os.
@@mistrotech8894 I'll check it out. Thanks!
@@mistrotech8894 can brunch be updated like normal Chrome OS?
Cheers for this awesome post .I finally got an excellent result will this lovely method when I tried it.I am enjoying it now
This is great! Do you think you may be able to make a tutorial on how to install Steam on Chrome with the cross terminal so we know how it works there?
I was able to load steam alpha on my 713. Tried two games: Rise of Nations and Stronghold Crusader Extreme. Both run extremely well!
Did you play on the built in screen or on an external monitor?
just fantastic your explanation about chromebooks in Brazil are very basic and expensive but they are fast for basic tasks
Isto vai mudar em breve
Imagine if ChromeOS turns into the go-to lightweight Linux gaming distro that we're all going to use in the future... I would not complain :D
あっぷ
This awesome news hope we see steam push more support on arm Architecture and chrome as well I rember hearing a rumor google wants to make gaming chrome books. Also glad I came across your channel in more versed in windows than chrome os so appreciate the content.
Yeah, but at the "gaming" chromebook stage, you may as well just buy a laptop.
@@Hynotama Exactly. I don't understand why anybody would buy a high end chromebook. Windows will be better at that range
Can you please help me im haveing the same problenm
i legit got my hp chomrebook 14a for gaming on stadia and xcloud and its almost better than when i played my xbox. i just went through 3 chromebooks that i had to keep buying and reselling till i got one that actually worked for whati needed it for. thing i gotta mention is that before i got me a chromebook that was at least made in 2020 i was barely able to do any stream gaming on it but for some reason even though i dont have the best connection im able to play where ever i go in my house without a problem at all. definitely recommend if anything
It will be interesting seeing Chromebook with Ryzen 6000 series APU, there are some videos (granted it was Ryzen 9) the new RDNA igpu is pretty good with performance.
The hardware is not an issue if you're into older games. I have an Acer C740 running linux natively and I can play games like Pathfinder Kingmaker, Rimworld and CK2 on it no problem. I also have Skyrim (OG edition) running just fine on it through proton. The bottleneck is ChromeOS.
You can get splitgate to work although, have not done it since 2019. Worked smoothly cannot get fullscreen to work though did this on a acer spin 311 at the time, got steam installed through linux.
@@notmanz4275 Ah interesting. I've never played splitgate. Were you running steam through Crouton or Crostini? It'd be interesting to see how close the performance is compared to steam on native linux. My impression was that Crostini is a lot slower due to virtualization.
@@inscrutablemungus4143 Nither really. I just installed it through ubuntu and it worked.
@@inscrutablemungus4143 Works on mostly any chromebook if you get everything working right do not install the .deb file as it does not work.
@@notmanz4275 What do you mean by 'installed it through ubuntu'? Did you enable it through linux-apps on chromebook or did you install ubuntu as a chroot (which is called crouton) and installed the game there?
This is exciting, im at the point where a little chromebook is all i really need. I just haven't parted ways with windows because of fomo when it comes to gaming. This between app store games and emulators solves this
This is what Google should shift their Stadia concept to. Forget trying to compete for console gaming and instead dedicate those servers for Chromebook to use Google processors to play.
Hi sir, I`m asking something, my chromebook has no borealis on chrome://flags, what should to release this borealis??
how do i do steam gaming on MY chromebook? thank you for the video.
Perhaps there will be compatability with External GPUs in the future.
ChromeOS is running the Linux kernel and containers aren't virtual machines, so this is basically running a native Linux game from 2006 on Linux. Still, it's pretty cool, and the game is great. Love to see how multiple Linux-based OS-es are benefiting from Valve's Linux gaming efforts.
if it’s just linux running directly then you could’ve done it using courton and used ubuntu. it would be slow likely because it’s not optimized for chrome but it may work.
It would sure be nice to know how to use a Chromebook laptop to game with android games. No controllers, no bluetooth stuff, or wired, or touchscreen. None of that, only keyboard and trackpad. No one seems to have info on that. Really frustrating. Also what is the ARC overlay/input feature that supposedly works for games and how do you use it and find it to use it??????
This info would really be nice.
I just want to play Football Manager and its so difficult trying to download anything on ChromeOS.
Would love steam Cloud..granted I know we have geforce now but the games are limited.. one can dream♥️😁
It seems difficult to create a cloud gaming model service where you own the games, but rent the hardware. The rights holder for the games will always want to be paid a second time round. This is the bit problem Geforce Now has. Valve may be in a better position to set up something like this, as they already have agreements of sorts with rights holders to act as a distribution platform.
This is agreat, and I especially like that Steam runs in its own container allowing a greater level of optimisation for running games. I currently have Steam installed on my Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook which has a 10th gen intel i5 core quad processor 8 GB RAM and I upgraded the stock 128GB NVMe SSD to a 256GB NVMe SSD. Steam had to be installed in the existing Linux container, and flags such as Linux pointer lock had to be set. Any games that run with a mouse and keyboard such as Rimworld and Kentucky Route Zero work well, but games needing a controller are more problematic, and sometimes graphics scaling is a challenge. So, this looks to be great solution, but the challenge will be sourcing a Chromebook with Intel i7 processor, and it's the lower performance Chromebooks that are typically in stock!
1:30 this is hilarious this is why you're my favorite youtuber
Hopefully they can port Gamescope (provides frame rate limiting , among other things, good for ensuring a stable experience and limiting battery drain) and maybe the new "big picture" UI, which looks like it would be much batter to use with a touch device.
I'm impressed. I was able to run 7 days to die(low settings), Streets of Rage(new) and Broforce on my Asus Chromebook Flip CX5. It will be nice to do away with Geforce NOW.. eventually
steam on chromebook is a another reason to buy it but still for the same price as a Chromebook with a i5 or i7 you can get a windows laptop and maybe get one with at least a rtx 3050 or something for the same price and the system will run better then this, my problem is the price is way to high for a chrome book that can do only few things
Ebay you can fins many chromebooks for 30$
Laptop wirh i5/i7 ans rtx 3050 that cost the same? Where?
Gaming on a Chromebook. Wild. Never would have thought
i;ve have installed steam on the linux container, and i could run Fez and a couple of 2D games and run well on a Levono Flex 5 (Intel 10th gen i3).
So THIS HAVE TO be able to be installed on lower end chromebooks!
With the newest Chrome OS update (220) I was able to install Steam on my older HP 360 Chromebook. i3 8gb and only 64gb of storage. It's still beta but it works and I was able to install it from the Steam website without any trickery. With every Chrome OS update lately I tried to install Steam and it worked this time. It doesn't support external storage yet, sd card external hard drive , but I think it will be added eventually. I play 2d style fighting games and side scrollers so the i3 is doing okay. my only issue is storage because even a game like Arcana Heart is 9gb in size, so I can't access my whole Steam library.
1:31 I really love your content bro it makes my day better
i clicked IMMEDIATELY when i saw the thumbnail
Your friend, Gabe, has a thing for shooters. I was really hoping to see something else as well. Maybe Darksiders. I'm curious if the first two games work on minimum settings.
you're logged in to gabe's steam account? impressive
What impresses me most, Google is using existing technology, but their implementation is awesome. The graphics is NOT native, its a virtualisation solution. They claim its near native, and it looks like its true.
Can someone give Star Wars: The Old Republic a whirl? I have my assumptions that it'll run pretty rough but even if I could get 45fps at lowest settings I would dump my Windows laptop for a Chromebook ASAP!
I think Lacros with native Wayland support on ChromeOS will help make Steam gaming fairly similar to "standard Linux".
Awesome! Chromebooks FTW 🙂
Can't wait to see you cover the new cloud gaming chromebooks
I am an influentual gamer and since I haven't played a real videogame in a year I will try and save up for a Chromebook and get literally everything: Rockstar, Steam, Epic Launcher, Roblox, ect. (but my limit on all 5 apps will be about 11 games.)
my first game that I tested on my current school laptop was destiny 2 but sadly it didnt run. probally because its an old one.
I have a huge movie collection on an external hard drive. I hate my Chromebook so much that I have never been online with it. I plug up the hhd and my phone, then transfer the movie I want to watch. That's all the Chromebook is worth.
Hope support comes to android tablets as well.
Are there really only certain kind of Chromebooks that can run any video gaming software including old Gameboys, emulators for video games originally for Nintendo and 3ds? Also including like call of duty, GTA, and Minecraft? Will they be under an account where you can play them with your existing data from other devices and download mods to certain games on a Chromebook?
the problem with mine is that it's a touch screen computer and i can't seem to be able to play computer games, i can only play mobile
oh man seeing DoD: Source just made me nostalgia really hard
I'm a steam fan also I just got a Chromebook love how fast I'm able to log in as fast as my cell phone none of the Hang-Ups of Windows 11, I just wish they would develop apps directly for Linux
Got that sorted but it can't handle the graphics I guess, its only a lenovo basic chromebook
As much as I love Steam I wish Google would focus more on Stadia cuz I love that platform.
Stadia is dead
1:38 This is why you're my favorite youtuber you make amazing content for us every day
Instead of using the Chromebook keyboard, can a PlayStation be used?
i wonder if i can use this on my regular computer, desk top , to play games in my steam library that i cant get to play on my slower graphics card?
it would be nice if you had a overlay like mangohud to show fame-time it easier to see if there is any studder then looking at a game like that.
finally i can play my sumer car with my school chromebook
Soo... Now I can play my story of season library on my chromebook❤️
Finally got around to watching your video. My only question is, by container, do you mean a micro virtualization or emulation? Like the Debian container. The Race is on. Stadia already runs so great on home wifi. One of these few competitors is soon to perfect this technology for mobile phones. This requires too much of a $$$ investment for me to pay much attention to but it is an impressive feat in technology. I suspect Microsoft, Steam and Google all collaborated, due to intellectual property restraints.
What if i want to download Omsi 2 and steam says i don't have enough storage but i actually have enough storage on my Chromebook
Love how you got a Google Stadia controller in the frame. Keep Stadia alive
Hello there ... I have a question you see I'm a cyber security student and I would want to buy a Chromebook that would go with my daily activities that includes linux integrated type of works and a few other things as well ... What's the best Chromebook I can buy ?
hello im having troubles with opening games because it shows a screen saying that the app needs to be installed and shows two buttons that says to join the stream group and yes it is installed and i do have it installed and i click the buttons but it doesn't work
That big red dot shutter is an insult to all the engineers who work so hard to make ChromeOS bullet proof.
I cant use steam on my chromebook it always say i have to install it even tho i have installed tho and i also have a account already
All I need to know is if I can play the steam version of slay the spire on my SD 7c Chromebook haha
Next time use a fps counter if you do any gaming demonstrations.
9:00 nice
I've managed to get steam using linux but found out ive only got 8gb of drive space - unless I can somehow upgrade it idk!
Dang ive got an Acer 513... hopefully it will be added to the list at some point.
Very cool! I may have to upgrade…
What about 10th gen because I have a galaxy chromebook 4k and I would like to try steam on it in the future
you should do an updated review on the lenovo flex 5!!! It now has a 11th gen i3 with 8gb of ram and I just bought one for $300. new. I think it is the new budget king. the duet is has been replaced lol. Great video by the way
I got a Chromebook asus an got steam on it an bought the undisputed boxing game how do I play it so I have to have a special controller
Can I play age of empires on my Chromebook, with my brother who would be playing it on a pc?
I wonder if I can install other games into the container. Like League of Legends which is completely playable on Linux. I played it in Crouton ages ago.
Which company 's Chromebook you are using
can someone let me know how to install because i try downloading and i press it and it dont even install its stuck on "Yes, steam is installed" and after that it just doesn't register that i pressed it even tho i meat all the requirements please help
for me it says InStAlL steam when it is
i cant enable the flag needed i went to unavailable its not there so i know i can enable it but when i search in available it dosent show up
can yall help me i did press play game on my steam on my chrome os but it said invalid platform
Why does it not work with the asus flip cm5? The best edition.
Any chance you can get this working on the Spin 713 2020 model? i5 8 GB memory and in my case 512 GB of space, so if it is possible that'd be great to see happen. The newer Spin 713 2021 model is listed as supported, so that's what makes me wonder if the older model can handle it even with the lesser Intel UHD graphics.
will this development take a year or two? previous alpha version enthusiasts, share your experiences, please!
I'm not a gamer, I only fly X-Plane on Linux but it's great to see ChromeOS coming along so nicely for people who do game.
just install with flatpak
It would bring some more attention to chromebooks for sure if steam is running on chromeOS which is great. But to be honest, for the additional costs of a chromebook with i7 processor and 16gb ram, you get like 3 years premium account of Geforce NOW, which is working well on chromeOS already.
My chrome book doesn't look like this it looks like a tablet because the browser looks completely different from your browser
Google is playing it right. Windows already panicked and created Windows 11 s edition, but it seems to be that it is already too late, because google got lots of recognition in the couple past years.
My chromebook would explode playing warzone 2 or fortnite or even Minecraft 💀
Where is the next TRUE Pixlebook successor?!?!?!?
My bluetooth icon disappeared after connecting to developers channel. What should I do?
So where do we download this at im trying to hook my VR head set up to it for tests lol
i see in now 2023 have chromebook android version. it there can play pc game or wht?
Some games I play puts me in mobile mode can you help make it desktop version
The free trial is expired and now i cant delete it, please help me with this problem.
sir it work to lenovo ideapad3 11'6inches chrombook? after dowloading the steam on usb drive?
Yo can you help me fix my chrome screen its gone pitch black and its on currently i dont have a screwdriver anyone have tips?
Bonjour, je viens d'installer Steam sur mon chromebook. Quelqu'un ici aurait-il réussi à jouer à Age of Empires II (Definitive Edition) sur Chromebook ? Je ne trouve pas de démo et ça m'embête de dépenser 20 € si le jeu ne fonctionne pas.
I'm new to computers just bought a Chromebook it's expired I didn't know Chromebooks expire expired 2 yrs ago can you please guide me what can I do to it to keep using it please help me
Expire? Probably won't update no more but should still work bro
its interesting how youtubers can do anything but when I try it never works
