Moving forward, Valve has stated that it, “intends to continue supporting the existing Steam Link hardware as well as distribution of the software versions of Steam Link, available for many leading smartphones, tablets, and televisions. The Steam Link is completely sold out in Europe and is quickly approaching that status in the US. If you’d still like to get the box, know that supply has almost dried up. Those apps are also available for free, where the dedicated hardware runs $50 (though is routinely available from Valve for $2.50). Those options allow for 4K streaming, which is just not possible on the Steam Link hardware. It uses Steam In-Home Streaming, which you can use with any PC, but the Steam Link offers a cheap, optimized streaming receiver you can connect to your TV.
You connect the Steam Link to your PC via HDMI, connect a controller, and play. The biggest reason for the phasing out is likely the Steam Link app that is available on Android OS and some Samsung smart displays. Valve’s Steam Link is a sleek, easy way to stream games from your PC to a TV elsewhere in your home. Since it was introduced in 2015, new features such as couch co-op and even 5.1 surround sound were added, but the device is sort of redundant now. Half-Life: Alyx is Valve’s VR return to the Half-Life series. This small device allowed streaming of PC games to any display in your house via your home network. Valve has announced that it will be discontinuing the Steam Link hardware box.
