Windows tablet for steam games, many games playable?
I am currently thinking about getting a tablet with Windows to install Steam there and play my games sitting on the couch.

But I have no idea if that makes sense.

Please only answers from people with tablets!

Can you play most games with tables, does the game have to support tablets for you to be able to play with a tablet, if not all games are playable, is there a way before buying or installing a game to see if it will be possible to play it?

I'd like you guys to try to answer in a general way.

BUT, I'd like to know for certain games if these games are playable from a tablet:

- MineCraft

- X3
- Elite Dangerous
- Fallout 3
- Fallout 4
- Empyrion

- Crusader Kings 2
- Farm Mananger 2018
- Kenshi
- Carrier Command: Gaea Mission
- Wurm Unlimited
- XCom

- The Walking Dead
- Recettear
- Perpetuum

I hope someone knows something. If you happen to know what I have to look for in a tablet for it to be able to play these games, that would be even better. :-)

No Steam games can be played on a tablet unless you are streaming to the device from your PC. Steam on devices like tablets and phones is just an app largely for 2FA purposes.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

It seems I'd have to pay 400 - 1400 Euro for a tablet which is able to run the better games.
I think... the grapes are spoiled! Yes! :-)

Thanks for that link AtheonX, it gave me a very fast entry into the subject.

If you already have a (decent) PC, just get an android tablet and stream the games to it through steam link.
