Gamers around the world would agree that the only thing better than playing a game is feeling like you are inside it. And even though virtual reality has made this possible long ago, there are still gaps to be filled in that area. Now, what if we tell you that you will soon be able to stream your favourite PC games on the Apple Vision Pro via the Steam Link app? Alright, it’s still debatable on how many people would actually want to look at a virtual screen and stream a full-blown AAA game on a VR headset. But, if that’s something you fancy and you happen to own the Vision Pro, you may want to read on.

Steam games coming to Vision Pro
Valve has just announced that it is working on a native version of Steam Link for visionOS. Not just this, the app is already being tested through Apple’s TestFlight programme. This means that if all goes well, players will soon be able to stream games directly from their PC or Mac to the Vision Pro.
On the Vision Pro, these games will appear as a large virtual screen that you can resize or curve depending on your preference. It sure sounds exciting. The app is also expected to support streaming at up to 4K resolution, which should make for a fairly immersive experience even without full VR support.
Not full VR yet, but a step forward
So does this mean that your Steam games will start running natively on the Apple Vision Pro? No. Not really. As mentioned already, instead of running games natively on the headset, the Steam Link app streams a live feed from your main machine, while your inputs are sent back in real time.
It is important to note that this is not the same as proper VR gaming. Steam Link on Vision Pro will only stream games in a 2D format, meaning you are essentially looking at a virtual display rather than stepping into a fully interactive 3D world.
That said, this is still a meaningful step. Right now, users rely on third-party apps to stream Steam VR content to the Vision Pro, and official support from Valve has been missing. The arrival of Steam Link suggests that deeper integration could be on the way.

For now, it simply makes the Vision Pro a more versatile device for gaming. And if Valve eventually brings full Steam VR support, this could be just the beginning.
