Steam Link's biggest selling point is its "almost sold out"

Steam Link's biggest selling point is its "almost sold out" functionality. In fact, it's been said that Valve is expected to announce support for nearly all of its game streaming services sometime in 2018.

That is, until the end of the year when Valve releases Steam Link in its store.

How does Steam Link work?

Steam Link allows you to stream games across multiple devices, including the Amazon Kindle Fire, Sony PlayStation 3, and the Xbox 360. Steam Link can be paired with your Steam account for streaming games in HD on various devices. This works out to roughly half the amount of time an HD stream is required to stream one game each.

In addition to a single player mode, a player can also stream multiple games, including multiplayer online tournaments, online games, and other online games. This is good news for those gaming on the go using a TV, which has limited bandwidth and a larger number of players. In addition, the feature allows you to play multiple games simultaneously on a single device, which is nice.

In its current form, HD streams are simply streamable apps that run on your device via Steam or on your local Wi-Fi network. Steam Link's HD stream uses a similar technology, but the original version was designed to stream only on the iPad Air and Android devices using a USB port. Since all of Steam Link's apps running on the iPad and Android devices are using USB ports, you can stream games on both devices at the same time. Steam Link doesn't support multiple simultaneous streams.
