    What's the story

    Nearly a year ago, Apple disappointed many of its customers by yanking the Steam Link app from its iOS App Store.

    The app allowed users to download and play games from Valve's Steam platform, bypassing Apple's own marketplace.

    Now, months after that removal stemming from 'business conflicts', Steam Link has returned for iPhone and iPad gamers.

    Here's how you can use it.

    What is the benefit of Steam Link

    The Steam Link app, as many could guess, streams games downloaded from Steam to an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.

    Previously, the issue was Steam allowing the download of games directly on iOS devices, but the newest version changes that.

    Here, you can only stream games that have already have been downloaded on a computer running Steam.

    To begin, open Steam on the PC, click on 'full screen' on the upper right corner.

    Then, staying on the same network, open Steam Link on iPhone/iPad, connect its Bluetooth controller and choose your computer when prompted.

    From here on, you can pick the title of your choice and stream it directly on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
