VALVE ANNOUNCES MOBILE STEAM APP

Closed Beta Available Now For iOS and Android Devices

January 26, 2012 -- Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the beta release of the Steam application for iOS and Android devices.

With the Steam app, gamers around the world may chat with Steam friends, browse community groups and user profiles, view screenshots and user-generated content for their favorite games, read the latest gaming news, stay up to date on unbeatable Steam sales, and more.

"The Steam app comes from many direct requests from our customers," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. "Seeing which of your friends are online and playing a game, sending quick messages, looking at screenshots for an upcoming game, or catching a sale - these are all features customers have requested. Mobile is changing way people interact, play games and consume media, and the Steam app is part of our commitment to meet customer demands and expand the service functionality of Steam to make it richer and more accessible for everyone."

Those who wish to join the beta just need to download the Steam app (free of charge) and log in to their Steam account via the mobile app to express interest in the beta. Gamers will be added to the Closed Beta as the service ramps up.

Steam is a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC and Mac games with over 40 million accounts around the world and over 1,800 titles offered.

Do it the proper way and log in every day so you can check out the deals.

Sounds useful, not that I will be using it. But I do admire how Gabe Newell restrained himself from saying 'MAKE MORE MONEY FOR VALVE!'

Wooooohooo~. I've been waiting for Steam to release a mobile app.. About time! Even though it's still in Beta.

Although.. I don't even have an Android phone or an iPhone/iPod Touch.. I've only got an iPod Nano 4th Gen :'<. ;A; guess i'll have to wait.. Unless I find a way to get it on my phone

[GTFO. KARR]

But you can't go in group chat or into a multi-user chat.

So..... its only good for cybering and buying things. Ah well at least Matt will get some use.

[PpJt]

srsly? how pointless.

[GTFO. kk20]

I was underwhelmed when I figured you cant go into group chat. that being said, it is a beta so I imagine it is a testbed.

[GTFO. Sly Raccoon]

I have a spare for anyone that wants it but doesn't already have it
