Google and Valve will kill “Steam for Chromebooks” experiment in January 2026

Google and Valve have announced that they will be ending their "Steam for Chromebooks" experiment in January 2026. This collaborative effort, which allowed users to run the popular Steam gaming platform on Chromebook devices, has been in beta since its introduction. The decision to discontinue the program comes as Google and Valve have determined that the project has not gained the traction they had hoped for. Despite initial excitement, the integration of Steam on Chromebooks has not seen widespread adoption among users. In their announcement, the companies have stated that they will be focusing their efforts on other priorities, leaving the "Steam for Chromebooks" experiment to come to a close. This move may disappoint some Chromebook users who were hoping to access a wider range of games on their devices, but it reflects the companies' assessment of the project's long-term viability.
