Back in 2013, Valve announced SteamOS along with Steam Machines, with SteamOS expected to power the Steam Machines. In any case SteamOS isn’t exactly widely available at the moment, but if you’re planning on getting your hands on a Steam Machine in the near future, Steam Music is one of the features you can look forward to. This feature was recently announced by Valve on its Steam website where they revealed that the Steam Music Beta would be coming soon to Big Picture and SteamOS interfaces soon, and desktop features are expected to soon follow.
For those wondering what is Steam Music about, it’s basically a feature of Steam that will allow gamers to listen to music while they play their games. Listening to music while playing games is definitely not new and it is practiced by thousands of gamers around the world, although we guess the main difference is that the music will be playable directly in the Steam UI without the need for you to keep an additional media player app running, like iTunes, for example. As it stands Steam Music will only be able to play locally-stored music and there is no option to purchase music, so it looks like Valve will not be headed in that direction, yet. For those interested you will be able to sign up to be part of the beta, so head on over to the Steam website for the details.

When it comes to streaming games onto other devices, consoles have that option. For example the GamePad for the Wii U basically allows games to be played on the smaller screen instead of the TV, and Sony has something similar except with the PS Vita. Well it looks like Valve wants to bring that kind of streaming functionality to PC gamers as they have recently launched a beta program in which gamers are able to stream games from one PC to another via Steam. This service is currently in beta and is only available to a select few who have been invited to take part in the beta testing process. (more…)

SteamOS Beta Released By Valve
Posted in: Today's Chili
Valve has just rolled out its SteamOS beta, although this particular introduction will be accompanied by a warning – you should only download this latest beta version if you have a semblance of an idea of what you are doing. Of course, I guess this is how the battlelines are drawn, separating the real men from boys. At least true testers would be differentiated this time around. Of course, those who qualify would also require a relatively new machine with UEFI, considering how attempts to make the operating system as a secondary boot option did not prove to be that easy. This latest beta that is available to the brave masses would allow interested parties to be more familiar with early SteamOS.
