Google has released the alpha version of Steam on Chrome OS but only for select Chromebooks.
The Witcher 3: Wild Huntrequire a Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM, and only play on Medium graphics settings.
With Steam on Chrome OS being in its alpha stage, Google is very early in the process of determining how well games play on various Chrome OS systems, and whether there is enough appetite from consumers to adopt this compatibility.I’m intrigued by this development, though it does raise a few concerns. Chrome OS is a lightweight operating system based around the cloud, and as such, Chromebooks are typically sold with lower storage amounts.
There is also the question of thermals: can a system that was built without gaming in mind maintain its cool under a heavier-than-normal load? Also, Google will also need to be transparent about which games can and can’t run on certain systems–something Valve has mastered on the Steam Deck.These concerns, along with game compatibility, are some of the things Google hopes alpha testers can help answer. If you want to be one of them, you can switch to the Dev channel on a supported Chromebook.
Google didn’t provide a timeline for when it hopes to roll out Steam for Chrome OS to a wider audience. In the meantime, we’ll test this feature ourselves and let you know how it goes.
