SteamOS. :O

Thousands of games, millions of users. Everything you love about Steam. Available soon as a free operating system designed for the TV and the living room.

 

 

Four new Steam features focused on the living room.

 

In-home Streaming

 

You can play all your Windows and Mac games on your SteamOS machine, too. Just turn on your existing computer and run Steam as you always have - then your SteamOS machine can stream those games over your home network straight to your TV!

 

Music, TV, Movies

 

We’re working with many of the media services you know and love. Soon we will begin bringing them online, allowing you to access your favorite music and video with Steam and SteamOS.

 

Family Sharing

 

In the past, sharing Steam games with your family members was hard. Now you can share the games you love with the people you love. Family Sharing allows you to take turns playing one another’s games while earning your own Steam achievements and saving your individual game progress to the Steam cloud.

 

Family Options

 

The living-room is family territory. That’s great, but you don’t want to see your parents’ games in your library. Soon, families will have more control over what titles get seen by whom, and more features to allow everyone in the house to get the most out of their Steam libraries.

Downloadable soon. Free forever!

99% fake but interesting.

tl;dr

Announcement #2: SteamBox. Reference design: AMD CPU, nvidia GPU, uses nvidia streaming. Big partnership with nvidia, SteamOS to have awesome nvidia drivers.

Announcement #3: Source 2. Win/Mac/Linux compatibility, no DX compatibility at all, as for console ports, PS4 support might or might not come eventually.

Bonus: "A game". Redeemable with every new nvidia/SteamBox purchase.

SteamMachines

http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamMachines/

  • Beginning in 2014, there will be multiple SteamOS machines to choose from, made by different manufacturers.
  • There will ultimately be several boxes to choose from, with an array of specifications, price, and performance.

 

 

Will I be able to build my own box to run SteamOS?
Yes.


Can I hack this box? Run another OS? Change the hardware? Install my own software? Use it to build a robot?
Sure.

Can I download the OS to try it out?
You will be able to download it (including the source code, if you're into that) but not yet.

What games will be available during the beta?
The nearly 3,000 games on Steam. Hundreds already running natively on the SteamOS, with more to come. The rest will work seamlessly via in-home streaming.

Am I going to be using a mouse and a keyboard in the living-room?
If you want. But Steam and SteamOS work well with gamepads, too. Stay tuned, though - we have some more to say very soon on the topic of input.

So, basically a handy/portable CPU fully loaded. Can be good if it's less than $500.

 

Cannot comment on the portability part and the price, until I see one for real.

 

All in all looks promising and the fact that multiple H/W vendors are being called up, chances are we will see good competition and price prospects.

Pnb did the same shitty trick with me

Just call up ur bank cc and tell them that you are unable to make international purchases

They'll activate it instantly I assume

 

Contaced CC and told them the problem.They said that the site I am trying on might be fraud :lol: I explained that it is a legit site and I have made quite a few purchases on it using my card.They said everything is fine with the card and nothing is blocked.

 

I fail to understand that why is my card not working. Tried a relatives icici debit card and that too isn't working.Has ICICI blocked purchases from steam on their cards?
