Valve Launches 4K 120FPS Steam Link for Vision Pro, Dropping iPad App Limits

3 articles · Updated · UploadVR · Jun 2
  • Valve has released a native visionOS Steam Link app for Apple Vision Pro, letting users stream flatscreen Steam games at up to 4K and 120FPS instead of relying on the iPad version.
  • The new client removes the iPad app’s 4:3 window and roughly 2732×1537 cap, adds dynamic aspect-ratio matching and adjustable screen curvature, and Valve says it also improves network performance.
  • Vision Pro users can launch games with gaze-and-pinch controls or use a gamepad, mouse, and keyboard through Steam Big Picture, though gaze navigation was reported to feel awkward in testing.
  • PC VR remains absent: the Vision Pro app supports only flatscreen streaming, unlike Steam Link on Meta Quest, Pico, and Vive Focus Vision headsets that can run SteamVR titles.
  • That leaves Apple headset owners to third-party options such as ALVR, Clear XR, and KRVR, while apps like X-Plane and iRacing offer separate visionOS clients for PC VR simulators.
As Nvidia's tech powers Vision Pro VR streaming, is Valve ceding the future of wireless PC VR to its rivals?
Can third-party apps truly match a native experience, or is PC VR on Vision Pro destined to remain a compromise?
