Valve Releases Steam Mobile for iPhone

Posted on January 26, 2012 by

Valve released a free Steam app for iPhone today. Steam Mobile lets you chat with your Steam friends, browse community groups and user profiles, read the latest gaming news and stay up to date with sales on Steam games.

For those of you not familiar with Steam, it’s a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation, the creators of popular games like Portal and Half-Life. Steam distributes games from small independent developers to large gaming companies.

I doubt we will ever see games run within Steam Mobile, but it looks like an awesome app for anyone who enjoys using Steam as their gaming hub and wants to keep up with the Steam community while on the go.

Steam Mobile is available for free in the App Store.

    The note is not accurate. Beta keys for the mobile app are independent of the steam client beta and are being distributed in batches on a first-come first-served basis.  You just need to launch the app to get put on the list.
