See Steam on ChromeOS in action here: • Steam Gaming On A Chro...
Steam for Chromebooks is here. Well, sort of, anyway. Launched in an official Alpha capacity back in late March, the long awaited 'Borealis' project has finally arrived and is quite impressive for an Alpha build. Games run pretty smoothly for devices utilizing non-dedicated graphics cards and after a few technical setup steps, the whole thing feels very thought-out and thorough. Sure, there are bugs that still need a bit of squashing, but we've been able to play some games in our Steam library with better results than we've ever seen on a Chromebook, and that's exciting.
We realized, however, that we'd yet to make a simple, straightforward guide on how to get this up and running on supported devices, so we wanted to put that out there for anyone looking. Now, you can watch through the video, follow the steps, and get Steam games running on your supported Chromebook with relative ease.
SUPPORTED DEVICES (as of 4/18/2022):
- Acer Chromebook 514 (CB514-1W)
- Acer Chromebook 515 (CB515-1W)
- Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (CP713-3W)
- ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5 (CX5500)
- ASUS Chromebook CX9 (CX9400)
- HP Pro c640 G2 Chromebook
- Lenovo 5i-14 Chromebook

I'm following your channel not just because of outstanding production; you are like the "Jeremy Clarkson of Chromebooks". Thank you for all your work
i made the likes 69 lol
This is very promising how well it all works in alpha, on select Chromebooks that don’t even have dedicated GPUs. I played resident evil 6 today and didn’t except it to look and feel as good as it did.
expect.
on flags the borealis things did not show up should i just skip doing that or no?
It says borealis has not been released on my device any updates when this might change ?
same i dont kno what to do
Great video!
Sadly the fact that I could lose all my stuff is a huge no go for me... which is sad. Maybe they'll get this more streamlined quicker.
This guy has insane communication skills.
Honestly this really helped me out, but I'm just a little terrified of having my laptop being powerwashed and losing everything on it, so I'm not up for taking that risk.
Epic moment in chrome history. Now the question is what's the best CB for gaming.
help me!!! theres no borealis flag for me :((((
I tried this on the Pixelbook today and the Borealis flags were not available. ☹️
It's for cromebook
@@ajanitomlinson1926 Yes Pixelbook is a Chromebook.
i searched up borealis and nothing came up👎
The proper way to close shell is typing exit
during the experiments part i typed in borealis and it didn't pop up
after going on the flags thing the borealis is not there is there a way to fix that ?
same
i need help the borilues thingy isnt there iscitvonly in admin dev mode
I cannot locate any Borealis. I'm in developer mode on the flag site... it says there is no such thing available.
borealis is gone what do i do
its nice but to me big roadblock is the chromebooks that could run this or possibly would end up priced at same level of windows laptops and would have less issues. Chromebooks need to overall start getting new gen i3's at lower price points for this to start making sense overall
question i cant see the borealis-enable flag what do i do
same bro did u figure it out
I am super bummed that my current Chromebook is not on this list but I am hoping that they expand this out to more of the Chromebooks that are out now.
of the list of supported devices which would be the best if someone was looking at a mid-range gamer Chromebook?
none get something like an msi gf 63 thin you can grab it new for like 600 and used like 500 with a 1650 max q
good jod man
Sadly borealis enabled is no longer there. Any other work around? I have the Acer 514 on the list of devices you said are able to do this, so I am hoping there is another way?
Same
@@foolie2379 me too
So the fact that when I search for Borealis on the chrome flags page and it finds nothing, means my chromebook isn't one of the ones that can run steam then?
Thanks for providing detailed instructions that even I can follow. What gets me is that to buy a Chromebook with the minimum requirements listed, you would have to pay as much for it as a comparably equipped Windows laptop, which in my estimation, would be more versatile. And it's interesting that the requirements specifically require an Intel processor when the Steam Deck uses an AMD processor. Because using a Chromebook to run my Steam games would require me purchasing a new, expensive Chromebook, I will stick with the Windows laptops I already own, as they run my Steam games just fine.
I'm not a big Chromebook user but I still enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
Yeah seriously. I'm just looking at the Acer Spin 713 and the Asus Zenbook Q408UG at Best Buy. Both are listed around $700 and both go on sale for under $600 reasonably often. Yeah the 713 has a nicer fit and finish to it, but the Q408UG comes with a 6C/12T CPU and an MX450. As far running steam games the Zenbook is just better. Like way better. And the build quality isnt bad either as far as it being a decent ultrabook goes.
I could see some of the new RDNA 2 APUs from AMD making their way into Chromebooks soon. That would really be huge along with a good Steam client.
i cant find borealis on my options any ideas? how can I fic that.
when i go to get borealis flag, there isn't any borealis flags.
It says borealis has not been released on my device any updates? or is beacuse not is compatible??
i cant find borealis enabled is it gone or is my chromebook not able to find it
sorry for the question, but after installing steam can I use it to play games like Marvel Spider-Man without problems, even though it would take window?
Marvel Spider-Man was never on steam...
You could say Steam on a Chromebook is a real... *GAME CHANGER* 😃
the Chromebook's gaming world has finally picked up some... STEAM
I hated that... *JOKE*
😂 *SMH*
@@soulgamer8774 ITS NOT FUNNY😂🤨😂😂😂
@@prince_kevion6452 You are... *RIGHT*
Apparently the Acer 515 SHOULD be compatible with this, but upon adding the crosh apparently mines lacking memory/CPU is there any parts/alternatives i can use to get this operating or somewhat atleast functional?
None of the borealis stuff is showing up on mine is there a work around?
fr its not showing up on mine either
Same with mine
@@jordanmaxwell6019 its because your chomebook is now supported the list of supported chromebooks is in the description
@@maxandcheese2468 read my reply to jordan
i cant find borealis
It just says the package cache seems tk ne out of date what do I do???
i have the acer chroombook 515 and when i try to get a game its always says its unspurrted cab you tell me why? pls
in the option " about chrome os " it doesnt show change channel and om;y shows the current update on it please help me
Will it install on older Chromebooks (such as the Pixelbook Go), if you just want to play older retro games from Steam?
Disappointing they went higher end. The latest intel celerons have surprisingly good gpu’s and should be able to run older titles.
I have the Asus Chromebook Flip CX5 and it didn't work at the arcade thing. It told me "Insufficient CPU memory to run"? How do I fix that?
What do I do if borealis flag doesn’t show up? I do have an Acer Chromebook 514 but I don’t see the borealis flag.
You and me both. Doesn't show up for me.
now does it work on a samsung chromebook? i got the steam app but am i missing something? games wont launch
Well it's strange because i recently changed to dev mode but i don't see any borealis flags in my chromebook is it because i have a older version or maybe they recently removed it?
If your chromebook is not currently supported then you won’t see it.
I love your channel abd always watch your videos. I have a question about Microsoft Office, it just isn't working for me about on my chromebook. Is this the same for everyone, have they changed something?
i changed channel and enabled borealis but when i enter crosh it says “ your chromeOS chancel must be set to Beta or Dev to run borealis”
What’s the diference from this installed method from the people have steam installed via Linux? Thanks
This is utilizing Googles new paravirtualized Venus gpu, so it has very little overhead and can run Vulkan titles (i.e Proton).
@@nils.offermann I know what none of this means. I downloaded it on Linux but it says I'm missing 32 bit files? Does that just mean my computer can't run it?
This works like a treat on my CX5, Only thing is you dont seem to be able to import saved game files from your PC as you cannot navigate to the install path to place the saved game files like you can on a PC, So you have to start all your games from scratch. Unless there is a way and Ive just missed it? Let me know if this is possible.
if is search borealis i get no results in flag, can someone help me?
Never been this much eager to have chromebooks until chrome is flex and steam happens
um i cant find borealis its wont show up is thet a reason or am i doing it wrong
yea this happened to me to im pretty sure it means our models of chromebook arent supported for steam

@@lachiegd_2831 It also happened to me but mine is supposed to be supported...
Does it work on HP Chromebook?
Yo theres no borealls on my chromebook???
where tf is it so i can play steam
So I'm confused. The list says my chromebook us compatible, and it was fine, until I got to enabling flag borealis. It won't show up in the flags even though I searched it. What does that mean
same bro i think they deleted it
ow nvm our chromebook already has it ohhh
he has it in his description
I'm kind of new to this, is a HP chromebook model 14-ca064dx compatible with this?
I CANT FIND BOREALIS
I can’t get the borealis to pop up in the flags search. Any ideas?
it wont let me have dev mode do you know about that? or is it the wrong chrome??

Thank you, thank you, and Thank you. I have a 10+ Samsung I adore but it was so slow. It is now my new Chromebook with mega memory. I could have kept it going on windows 10, but I was tired of the updates and I have other laptops.

What’s Borealis
Thank you! ❤
Could I run steam on the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook?
so its only for the newer chromebooks ?
does bluetooth controllers work with borealis?
If borealis isn't there what do i click?
I love my 2 Dell Chromebooks, but I don't know that I would try to game on them. It's neat to get steam on it, but you probably want something more specifically suited for the task.
Does this not work at all on the asus flip cm5
Will playing Steam Games on my Chomebook slow my computer down? Or is it safe to do? Thanks.
depends what chrombok you got
Am error popped up said i need to be in beta or dev and I am
