Play Steam Games on Chromebook - 2021

[@MorroSong]

Thank you so much! I had to get a Chromebook for school when my older laptop stopped working, and I've been so sad I can't play my Steam games.

[@WalkingBacon]

At my school we get to have free time and my friend has a laptop so he gets to play gmod,tf2, and people playground and what can I play? Friday night funkin it's kinda getting boring

My man, still alive i used to watch your older videos but ur always here when i need ya.

my man. you just saved christmas . I didn't realize Steam wouldn't run on a chromebook until we were setting it up for little one today. Thanks.

[@VoltageWatts]

same thing here, was looking foward to playing an old game again but as soon as i seen steam wasnt compatable, fell into dispair untill i seen this

FINALLYYYYY! Thank you so much and to all those that its not working for- After it's finished installing, wait 5 mins before the reboot. Then another 5 minutes when it restarts before opening the terminal.

[@jadinealma7742]

Thank you! I've been busting my ass trying to figure out how to play steam games on my Chromebook. Just one thing I wanted to mention: After I entered the steam code in terminal, it didn't initially download right away as you explained it would. I got some weird kind of error message at the bottom, It said something like "search for dvg --configure a" (or something along those lines). So what I did was entered in the dvg -- text thing and hit enter. It then resolved the error. I then tried the Steam code again and it worked like you said it would! I'm just putting this here in case someone encounters that error. I wasn't sure what to do, I almost gave up before just trying to enter in that extra text.

[@lamont805]

The correct branch to use is "main", rather than "master". That said, the file in question is currently the same on both branches.

[@rileighpardon3743]

I have a HP Chromebook, just tried it and it works! Just take your time go step by step.

[@williamhague5544]

After inserting the command from step 4, the long one, it does the script, but at the end, it says, "Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming." At first, I thought it was nothing, but after rebooting and typing "steam" in the console, it says "unknown command". Suggestions?
