Serious. Apparently I'm asking a very stupid question. This is my introduction to using Android. Been living under a rock. Anyways, looks like the Android OS isn't even designed to play most games? Is there anything in the works to play Steam games through Android?

Steam is a platform to play games on PC. None game that you buy/add to your account will be playable in any mobile; even if there is a mobile version of that game.

Steam games work with Microsoft Windows, and few on Mac OS and Linux.

None are designed for Android.

Or IOS... Basicly no mobile devices that run Android or IOS...

[katefreeze]

The app is so you can log in, and basicly edit and do stuff on your phone...

That's a funny joke

The only way I can think of is streaming to a Nvidia Shield Device (TV streamer or Tablet K1). That way you will be able to play your steam games right into your android tablet. Of course only on your local network, unless you setup a VPN to stream it over the web (this input some additional challenges).

Steam is something designed for PC gaming. Steam does not and probably will never sell mobile gammes (for the forseeable future). If you want to play games you installed, get the Steam application on your computer and all the games you bought will be able to be installed onto your computer, without needing to pay again.

To back up the op a little, I've got steam and bought the humble bundle for mobile devices (anodyne, bards tale, broken sword , anomaly Korea, etc) and can't actually get them to install on my phone. I'm not sure if it's because the galaxy 7 edge isn't compatible or what, so any help would be appreciated.

What would steam have anything to do with it, if you bought the humble bundle for mobile devices?

Haha I'm so glad I found this discussion!!

In all seriousness though, the only way to play PC games on an android device is to get an Android device that can stream your PC games over your WiFi, ie nvidia shield.
