Valve Launches Steam Mobile for iOS and Android

 Good news for gamers, especially who now frequently play mobile games. Yes, Steam Mobile is currently available on the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Steam can also be run on the iPad, but unfortunately still in the non-optimized version. Besides present in  Apple products, Steam is also present in Android. So, is now the gamers can play the game in steam on a smartphone?

The answer to the above question so far is "can not". So, although there has been Steam Mobile, gamers can not yet enjoy the game in steam at each smartphone. At the moment, the Steam android app is more to facilitate the users to be able see the other steam users who are online and chat with each other through chat features that are served, select a community group, see user profiles, see screenshots, and more. Then the user can also make purchases and monitor Mac or Windows games discount which sold on Steam.



Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve said that the decision released this application arises from the many requests directly from customers. Unfortunately the application which is actually made by valve is still in limited beta stage. To use this Steam Android application, you only need to download free applications and log into your Steam account



I personally think even if they do not sell mobile games or run the game in this application, this step is the right step to build a community that will be loyal to the released products the company concerned. Mobile technology has succeeded changing the way people interact, enjoy the news, get news, and others. Therefore, the way of a products promotion in digital also must be able to follow the changes produced earlier. And it seems this is what might be is trying by Valve with this Steam Android apps.
