Can you run Steam on a Chromebook?

Best Answer

Yes, you can run Steam on a Chromebook, but with a twist. Since ChromeOS is based on Linux, you have to enable Linux (Beta) on your Chromebook first. Then, you can install the Linux version of Steam. Keep in mind that performance may vary depending on your Chromebook's specs, so don't expect to run the most graphically demanding games smoothly.

Absolutely! Running Steam on a Chromebook is totally doable, but it's kinda like fitting a square peg in a round hole. You've gotta switch on Linux (Beta) in your Chromebook settings, and then you can get Steam up and running. Just don't get too hyped about playing anything super fancy; Chromebooks aren't exactly gaming beasts.

Nah, it's not worth it. Chromebooks are for school and browsing, not gaming. Save yourself the headache.
