A new Steam Store for Mobile phones gaming market
I have a suggestion for Steam in whole... why Steam not make a Steam app or online hub for Mobile Games and mobile gaming just like you have for Desktop computers and rest?

Steam is the best online store from my experience and I like it very much but 'Mobile gaming' rising more and more every day!

So that is my suggestion! Ofc those mobile games need to be checked on some gaming standards to not be a bloat software filled with some scams options.

Now big PC Desktop gaming studios making their mobile games, they should be legit publishers of mobile games, I guess. So you can make Steam platform just of serious mobile games not fake ones where gamers are on the last place.

All is about evolving of gaming in the world. Easter Asia have a biggest numbers of mobile gamers! So that need to be consider.

With all best... wish you a great day! :)

Because Steam isn't a mobile app store, and I don't think they want to compete against apple, or Google in the mobile market, it would be hard for them to get on phones, especially apple iphones, so andorid will be tough since it's heavily on Google side. Also this can cause problems with their other apps as well, which if they offer to sell mobile apps via their site, their Steam mobile guard app could likely get kicked off from Apple, and google store. Plus they're working with Google in a deal to getting Steam supported via chromebooks, and yeah, don't want to ruin that.

Steam is basically best game client for PC compare to any other, but also has it cons as well. Some people like steam, some people hate steam, things can vary on the person.

Now Valve been mostly focus around PC as that what Steam is a PC platform, especially this year release of Steam deck, which is also a mobile PC, and doing very well compare to other mobile gaming PCs. Valve has been working on VR as well, but haven't done anything with Index, as would think they might make another VR headset, but no actual news, just rumors, so the top seller VR in recent times has been Quest 2 in that area as they blew up within 2 years due to price point, and all in one VR device with controller as have trackers built in the headset to track the controllers.

As Valve juggling with working on new Steam OS 3.0 that the deck uses, updates for Steam VR software, game updates, and upkeeping the Steam store, and client with more updates, I don't think they get into mobile market anytime soon to compete with Apple, or google.

On this picture is "setup" of my friend in Hong Kong. East Asian gamers seriously play on mobile phones and tablets combined. Sooner or later I think that will spread across the world. Even today is more mobile phone players than PC and console players. Future is that people will one day, just put their mobile phone in dock and use it as PC. So mobile phones market and gaming on them will grow.

Your shared photo needs to send request to be able to see it, if you want to share it best make it public
Anyway are you not talking about games with supported phone apps or something of that sort? or is this something else?

Maybe one day mobile will take over PC market, but they have to make up for the performance gab, price point, and that mobile have to deal with being cool enough that doesn't fry, and battery doesn't explode on you just to get the same performance and quality of PC can provide in graphics, and compute power. As of right now if you try to compare mobile phone to GTX 3080 for graphics you can see night & day the problem, as if you're comparing N64 to PS4 in terms of gap, that how wide things are for the moment for basically all android devices, and apple iphones are more like PS1 because Apple been on the ball leading the market with their own chips, compare to Qualcomm Snapdragon, that why I believe Apple may lead the future in ARM base. But again at current state, it gonna be a long time for it to catch up to PC in terms of graphics, and I don't think people want to give that up, unless they're willing to settle for less in quality that the current trade off, there no magic wand, no magic software this is a hardware limitations have to put up with.

The pie is big enough for multiple markets. Assuming everyone has to jump into mobile gaming because it's the biggest market is grossly oversimplifying the scale of the markets and the health of the existing options.

I mean are you really predicting that phones and tablets will erase PC gaming, console gaming, and all other gaming options? People don't use multiple devices for gaming as is? Has that changed this year?

Hardware may be improved in future and get in it cloud gaming service and everyone with mobile phone can play it. I play on my local Cable TV provider on Android OS based Set-top-box, playing Cyberpunk 2077 game over cloud gaming app... And todays PCs getting smaller and smaller. So future is very good for mobile devices.

Because Apple and Google will throw their apps of their store, and people simply don't go to the bother of manually installing another store app.

No thanks. There's enough garbage gacha games as it is.
As its been said the problem is competition, mobile phone markets are already heavily saturated, and there isnt much steam can do that apple/google don't already do or offer to developers.

You're thinking of replacing native local gameplay vs cloud gameplay, there a problem in that area that won't be solved for a long time.

1. You need stable & high speed internet. <--- You have no choice, and must need internet access at all times.

2. Need to be near a server to reduce the chance of video feed buffer, or input latency issues. Wifi is known issues for this as well.

3. You're limited to whatever service provides, means may have to pay to get better streaming service, compare to just playing the game locally on your device on PC with zero input lost, and no visual issues.

4. You won't be able to mod game, may not be able to choose how to config your game, and have to settle for whatever fixed settings they choose the game to be.

So PC getting smaller, no in fact it been growing if haven't notice on the market. People are not going to ditch a good PC for mobile phone, or cloud gaming service just to play games. I mean Steam deck literally a mobile PC that out perform your mobile phone, that tells you a lot what the problem is about, which a flag ship phone cost more than the Steam deck, yeah... In the future mobile phones might take over, when we get to the point where graphics will be no different then PC, as we would hit the diminishing in return with the limitation of our eyesight can allow us to see, that what I'm talking about, and we're not even close to that range.

I think that future is close! All in one mobile phone device! I just need appropriate dock for my phone.

Looking at threads that get made, it seems there are people that are convinced that the Steam store lets in lots of games that aren't up to some arbitrary "gaming standards" and are "bloat software filled with scam options". Seems those "gaming standards" aren't exactly universal.

Considering that thusly there are people who think Valve can't even run one store properly, you want them to start another store on different devices and make the tasks they have even harder?

I think you are suffering from wishful thinking in that. There is absolutely no indication that mobile phones are going to be a great option to run stuff like Elden Ring.

Sure if don't care about the major obvious differences what I explain already, but if that what you want, that be you, not anyone else, some people rather have actual better graphics, performance, and not deal with cloud gaming issues.

Also not bad to be this wishful thinking, but drinking koolaid will not make it happen lol.

Guys... this pic is promising and "a warning" to game publishers and gaming industry: https://imgur.com/CY3Lhlo Not from me. Than from the 'rest of the world'. It's "embarrassing" how future of mobile gaming is close! And will grow as I already mentioning.

Steam have great platform for PC games. I just suggest to make some section on Steam or "Steam 2" online service for mobile gaming, with selected game makers and publishers.

AAA games on mobile phones (add there Fortnite and Diablo: Immortal) : https://imgur.com/a/0pH5H0F

That picture just looks like one of those people paid to get other peoples accounts to certain levels/items/progress etc. That's not exactly a shining example of mobile popularity.

Most of the mobile gaming market is games ripping off other games with often the same engine, similar graphics, same exact order-and-come-back-later kind of progression and microtransaction reliance for progress more quickly.

I would hardly say they're "close" when lacking originality frequently.

They're a PC client, not mobile. Nothing is stopping a creator from porting to mobile, if they presume the game would be popular on so. Or a mobile game can port to PC, which does really nothing more for PC, whereas porting to mobile means you'd need to restrict size and performance demands.

If they want to make a mobile client, they can, it's just unlikely since they focus on PC gaming. The closest you'll likely get to mobile gaming from Valve is the Steam Deck to play PC games with. For mobile they already have a store for each Operating System that's popular; android and ios.
