Google and Valve will kill “Steam for Chromebooks” experiment in January 2026
1 min read
Summary
Gamers that use Steam on a Chromebook will no longer be supported by Google and Valve from 1 January 2026.
The Steam for Chromebook Beta, which originally launched in 2022, is set to conclude seven years after its arrival.
Gamers will still be able to install Steam on their Chromebook, but any games downloaded during the Beta phase will no longer be available.
Google and Valve’s decision to end support for Steam on Chromebook is likely to affect a small number of gamers as ChromeOS has its own in-built games shelf.
It remains to be seen whether Valve’s decision to end support for Chromebooks will filter through to its Steam Deck handheld console.
