Do Steam consoles require an internet connection to play games?
An internet connection is not mandatory for the Steam Deck. You can enjoy games already downloaded on your device without needing to be online.
Can you play offline on Steam?

Yes, you can. You must enable Offline Mode while you are connected to the internet. This saves your credentials and game files locally. Some games may still require a network connection, so always launch a game online at least once before you plan to play it offline.

Can I play Steam games on any console?

No, you cannot play Steam games on traditional consoles like the PlayStation or Xbox. Steam games are PC-based. However, the Steam Deck is a handheld PC that runs a customised Linux operating system, allowing you to access and play your Steam library on the go.

Why did the Steam console fail?

The original Steam Machines failed for several reasons. The hardware was inconsistent, and many users found the Linux-based SteamOS confusing. It also suffered from limited game compatibility and a lack of marketing, which ultimately meant it struggled to compete with established consoles and traditional gaming PCs.

How does the Steam Link console work?

The Steam Link works by streaming games from a powerful gaming PC to a television or other screen in your home. It connects to your TV and local network, while your PC handles the game processing. The Steam Link then sends your controller inputs back to the PC in real-time.
