However, the alpha version of Steam for Chromebooks (not just Samsung) has been "launch only" at the moment, meaning that the average user won't be able to access it just yet. For now, it will only be available to a limited group of ChromeOS developer channel users. For others, it will be available "soon," according to Google.
Google also revealed the minimum system requirements to run Steam Alpha. You will need a Chromebook with an 11th generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor and at least 7 GB of RAM. In other words, you won't be able to play Steam games on cheap Chromebooks anyway. The California tech giant also announced a new gaming overlay for select players androidtitles. This allows you to easily play these games on Chromebooks using a keyboard and mouse.
