At the time of writing, there\u2019s a decent number of new-ish Chromebooks that are compatible. Here\u2019s the full list as of January 2023:<\/p>\n<p>Before you run out and buy one of these Chromebooks, you\u2019ll also need to make sure to get a compatible configuration.\u00a0That includes an 11th-gen Intel Core i3\/Ryzen 3 or higher processor, a minimum of 8GB of RAM, and Intel Iris Xe Graphics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Here&#8217;s How Steam Works on Chromebooks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Install_Steam_on_a_Chromebook\"><\/span>How to Install Steam on a Chromebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With your compatible Chromebook in hand, we can go ahead and install Steam. At the time of writing, Steam is only available in the beta channel of Chrome OS 108 or newer. So the first thing to do is switch over to the beta channel if you\u2019re not already there.<\/p>\n<p>We have a separate step-by-step walkthrough for switching Chrome OS to the beta channel and installing Steam. You won\u2019t lose anything when you switch to the beta channel, but Chrome OS may be a bit more unstable. Just something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Install Steam on a Chromebook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Play_Steam_Games_on_Chrome_OS\"><\/span>How to Play Steam Games on Chrome OS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-865111\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023-01-11_15-51-37.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Install a Steam game.\" width=\"651\" height=\"324\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got Steam up and running on your Chromebook, that\u2019s pretty much it! Steam on Chrome OS works the same as it does on other platforms. Your existing games can be installed from the \u201cLibrary\u201d tab as usual, and you can purchase games from the Steam Store.<\/p>\n<p>However, one thing to keep in mind is that while all games should technically work, not all games work <em>well<\/em>. Google has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chromium.org\/chromium-os\/steam-on-chromeos\/#game-list\">curated a list of games<\/a> they\u2019ve tested and have confirmed to work. Games that aren\u2019t on this list may work perfectly fine, or not.<\/p>\n<p>This is the most important thing to remember when playing Steam games on a Chromebook. We\u2019re still in the early days of this functionality. As evidenced by needing to be on the beta channel, it\u2019s not fully ready for prime time. You will almost certainly run into some hiccups along the way. Keep an eye on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chromium.org\/chromium-os\/steam-on-chromeos\/\">Google\u2019s list of known issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all there is to it! Thanks to Linux and Valve\u2019s work on the Steam Deck, it\u2019s finally possible to use a Chromebook for serious PC gaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
