LEGO worlds on ipad

[jeremiahwheatley]

I downloaded steam mobile to play LEGO worlds on my iPad but it’s not working. Is it compatible? Or do I gave to play it on a PC?

The Steam app for iOS is to browse the store, authenticate and use social functions. Steam does not sell any games for mobile platforms.

LEGO Worlds on Steam is Windows only.

Well, kinda. iOS, correct, no chance. I do, however, have a small 8 inch tablet running Windows and I can run a surprising number of Steam games on that including some early Lego games. It's comparable to an iPad, same form factor.

I can say though that it would not likely run Lego Worlds well, in fact it would be so below spec I would be surprised if it ran at all. You need a lot more grunt to run Lego Worlds. Best advice is to go up a size and grab a Surface Pro. I doubt Lego Worlds would be viable on anything smaller.

I'm assuming you have a surface pad. Surface pads are more like laptops. Ipads are quite different.

I have an 8 inch Atom tablet comparable to an iPad which runs many Steam games well, including things like the Lego Starwars Trilogy. It would not be powerful enough to run LW, but it will run Steam and Steam games in about the same amount of power as an iPad and demonstrates Windows is a mobile platform that is supported by Steam

I also have an old Lenovo Yoga convertible laptop which will run LW but only on very low settings. It is nowhere near as powerful as the newer, higher end Surface devices which is why I suggest such a Surface tablet for LW. Lower end tablets aren't great for this game, so you have to go for a higher powered tablet.

Now with Windows on ARM devices beginning to hit the market though, we may see some interesting devices running Steam. The coming pocketable WoA Surface folding tablet will be interesting. I doubt it'll run LW well, but it will run Steam and I may be surprised and we'll get something useable for LW at low settings. It could conceivably reach the power of my old convertible.

Interesting times...
