Well, the Steam Link app, while in beta, is free to download on devices (phones, tablets or TVs) running Android 5.0 or later. “Moving forward, Valve intends to continue supporting the existing Steam Link hardware as well as distribution of the software versions of Steam Link, available for many leading smart phones, tablets and televisions,” the company says. Perhaps that explains why here in New Zealand, EB Games had a massive selloff of Steam Link devices for cheap – no surprise they sold out pretty quickly. But for those with existing hardware devices, Valve will continue to support them. In a post on Steam this week – and somewhat out of the blue, the company announced that its supply of Steam Link hardware has sold out – and by the looks of it, it won't be making any more. Instead it's encouraging people to sign up to a beta trial of its new Android mobile app. In a quiet farewell, Valve announced that it's no longer selling the Steam Link hardware. The Steam Link was something of a staple hardware device when it came to wireless HDMI game streaming, but it seems the future is mobile – at least that's what Valve thinks.
