Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) – Google has casually announced that some Chrome OS users can now run Steam on their Chromebooks. During the Google for Games Developer Summit, Google revealed it „just launched“ a Steam alpha for select Chromebooks. Because it’s an alpha at this stage, that means it’s just a test for now and not fully ready to officially release for everyone. If you don’t care and want to dive in and start enjoying Steam games on your Chrome OS machine, here’s how. How to get the Steam alpha on your Chromebook The first thing you need to do is open your Chromebook and switch to the „dev channel“. It’s a more experimental software experience that will allow you to test the Steam alpha and the latest features of the Chrome operating system (Chrome OS). Anyone can switch to the dev channel (unless you’re using a Chromebook from work or school, as your IT admin might restrict you from switching channels).
