Steam can now stream games in 8K resolution and we immediately thought of you

I just realized: I never came back to thank you for purchasing that $ 30,000 8K TV. I mean, I’m sure the $ 1,500 coupon helped you? But I feel like I still owe you a little more.

How about this: why not be the first to stream 8K resolution PC games across your mansion? When we saw that Steam now supports this feature, we immediately thought of you.

Imagine the possibilities: You can sit on your fully immersive $ 9,000 toilet with your spare 8K TV – like you do – and instead of wasting so many of those glorious pixels on a pillared Snyder Cut, you can use them all. the 33 million plus to sling a not very demanding game at 8K resolution from your blinding rainbow death box of a gaming PC equipped with an RTX 3090, without even disturbing its sanctuary at the other bout your house!

You will probably need this PC level, of course, and even then 8K may not be a given. “Results may depend on the hardware,” one says in Valve’s release notes. I would also suggest a wired ethernet cable to reduce latency, and you might want to unlock your bandwidth limiter in Steam> Settings> Remote Play> Advanced Client Options – because 50 Mbps may not cut it at 8K resolution . But you would know better than us.

Seriously, it’s pretty cool to see Steam gearing up for the TVs of the future. And please send us a very high resolution photo of your setup if it’s your television now, too.

On the flip side, if you’re the kind of person who can’t afford new games let alone an 8K TV or a high-end gaming PC, Valve has some good news for you too – the company just released. offer the URL for Steam Remote Play Together sharing outside of the beta, so your friends can send you a link to join their local multiplayer games even if you don’t have a PC or Steam account.
