Google reportedly working to bring official Steam support to Chrome OS 

Google’s Chrome OS maybe able to play games from Steam one day. In an interview with Android Police, Kan Liu, who is director of Product Manment for Chrome OS said that Google is working to bring official Steam support to Chromebooks. re’s timeline when Chrome OS will be able to support games from Steam ‘officially’ just yet, but at least, re’s hope.  

Official Steam support on Chrome OS could pave way for more powerful Chromebooks which would make sense w that y're breaking $1,000 price barrier anyway. Take recently launched Samsung Galaxy Chromebook for instance. Because re’s way to play high-end games on Chromebooks, even for most high-end options, general argument in favour of m packing potent graphics cards makes little sense. But this could change soon. 

Chrome OS product leader also drops major hints that more powerful Chromebooks are indeed coming soon – particularly those with AMD processors inside. While creative professionals may still t be able to make best use of Chrome OS, Chromebooks may be able to break free from ir general motony once Steam officially arrives on platform. Google is likely getting help from Valve on this, although re’s confirmation cited in interview. 

Google’s Chrome OS was built for very specific use cases. It’s an operating system designed for safe and secure working environment, wherein everything you do, you do inside a Chrome browser – which also means, you’ll need internet most of time to make most of a Chromebook. You can’t install third-party apps on a Chromebook like you can on a Windows machine or even a Mac. Also, operating system has been designed for faster boots so loading times are bare minimum. 

Over years, Google has worked on bringing Android app support to Chrome OS. So basically, you can run Android apps on a Chromebook much like how you’d run m on an Android smartphone or tablet. re's also Google Play Store onboard from where you download and install se apps on a Chromebook. That said, high-end gaming has still remained a -show on a Chromebook, so Steam support would undeniably be one of biggest draws for Chromebooks in recent years marking a switch into a new direction. t all games may play well on a Chromebook but at least all games that support Linux will probably play just fine once support is live and kicking.
