My apologies if you’re legendary enough to still rock Windows Phone, but you’re out of luck here.Despite what first users might think, Steam for Android is not the same as the regular Steam application. You can download the revised Steam app from the App Store, Google Play or as a standalone APK. I feel like it should probably do everything the Steam Chat and Steam Link apps do too but, hey, at least it’s an improvement.
This new one seems a bit more like something I can see myself mucking about with, although the Store still seems pretty chunky and clunky when viewing it on a phone. It launched more than a decade ago, and I can’t say I ever really used it. The old Steam app was, frankly, a bit pants. You can read the full details of what’s included in the updated app here.
Notifications are easy to adjust too, so you can choose to mute sale alerts if you don’t want to be tempted to spend loads. It’ll also allow you to customise your tabs from a list of options – I’ve replaced the Store with my Library, for instance. Like with Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass app, the updated Steam app now lets you remotely download games from your Library to your various PCs. Valve say they’re planning on bringing the QR code method to Steam Deck in the future. It also gives you a list of authorised devices, so you know who’s got access to your account. You can now generate a QR code on your computer to scan using the app for almost instant sign-in, too, and approve or deny regular sign-ins from notifications in the app. That’s because it uses two-factor authentication. Valve are touting the nu-pdated app as the most secure way to sign into your Steam account.
Hold onto your phones, there's a revamped Steam app for iOS and Android.
