Does Steam work on a Chromebook?

Best Answer

Yeah, Steam can work on a Chromebook, but it's a bit of a hack. You've gotta enable Linux (Beta) on your Chromebook first, then install Steam through the Linux terminal. It's not super straightforward, and performance really depends on your Chromebook's specs. Don't expect to run the latest AAA games, but some less demanding titles should work alright.

I've got Steam running on my Chromebook! It's not perfect, and you have to jump through some hoops with Linux, but it's pretty cool being able to play some of my favorite games. Just manage your expectations, and check the game requirements.

Steam on a Chromebook? Good luck with that. It's doable with Linux, but why bother when it's not built for gaming? Stick to gaming PCs.

Technically yes, but it's not worth the hassle. Performance issues are a big buzzkill.
