Can you play Steam on a Chromebook?

Technically, yes, you can play Steam games on a Chromebook, but it's a bit of a workaround. Chromebooks run on Chrome OS, which doesn't natively support Steam. However, with recent updates, some Chromebooks now support Linux (Beta), allowing you to install Steam through the Linux container. It's not the smoothest experience and your Chromebook's hardware might limit what games you can play, but it's definitely possible for those willing to tinker!

Absolutely! But keep your expectations in check. Some newer Chromebooks support Linux apps, opening the door to install Steam via the Linux version. Remember though, not all games will run well (or at all) given the hardware limitations of most Chromebooks. So, think indie games or older titles for a better experience.

Nope, don't bother. Too much hassle for what it's worth, and most Chromebooks can't handle the good games anyway.
