  • Google finally announced Steam for Chrome OS is on the way.
  • You will be able to play games on powerful, high-end Chrome OS-powered laptops.
  • Little else is known about the service so far, as Google’s announcement was off-the-cuff.

Chromebooks and Chrome OS-powered machines are terrific for certain things. Browsing the web, watching YouTube videos, word processing, and even some light Android gaming are all great. However, one of their huge limitations is a lack of “real” gaming.

For the first time, Google has officially confirmed it is working on a solution to this (via 9to5Google). Steam on Chrome OS — a long-rumored feature codenamed “Borealis” — is officially on the way as an alpha test. Google confirmed the news in a pretty off-the-cuff way by casually putting the announcement into a slide during a Games Developer Summit presentation (see the slide below).
