Valve and Samsung announced during Steam Dev Days this week that future Samsung TVs will include the Steam Link hardware inside, as Steam Spy first reported—potentially the first of many such partnerships.
It’s not the most exciting announcement, but it could be the most important. While Steam Link is only $50, making it by far the cheapest part of bringing PC games to your living room. It’s not running anything natively—just streaming the content from your high-end PC to the TV over your home network.
Embedding Steam Link in Samsung TVs puts the capability for PC-to-TV game streaming in people’s hands without much effort on the part of the consumer.
