Google has announced it will be closing the beta of Steam for ChromeOS. The service will end on New Year’s Day, 2026.
After nearly three years in beta, Google is ending its experiment with Steam for Chromebooks. The software is set to be shut down early next year, according to a message now visible on the service.
As spotted by 9to5Google, downloading Steam to a Chromebook now tells you it will be concluding. The message reads, “The Steam for Chromebook Beta program will conclude on January 1st, 2026. After this date, games installed as part of the Beta will no longer be available to play on your device.”
For now, you can continue to play games, and you’re still able to download the software.
