We've been inundated with a lot of Steam Machines hardware specifications ever since CES, but don't forget that the Linux-based Steam OS can't run that many games natively. Luckily, Valve recently announced that the in-home streaming beta, which will allow you to stream games from you computer to your Steam Machine and other devices, is now live.
Comments on the announcement catalog a variety of errors, including lag, stuttering, and streaming not working at all. There are also some success stories: For example, this lucky guy can play DayZ on his TV now.
As Valve explained in November , in-home streaming allows any two computers to stream a gameplay session, and a Windows-only game can be streamed from a Windows PC to a Steam Machine. A graphically intensive game can also be streamed from a beefy gaming rig to a low powered laptop. You could even start a game on one computer and move to a more comfortable location and continue playing it there.
Yesterday, at its Steam Dev Days event, Valve also revealed the new design for the Steam Controller .
