For starters, you still need a minimum of 8GB of RAM, which has thankfully become more commonplace, even on the low end.
While opening to Intel i3 and Ryzen 3 processors will make Steam on ChromeOS a bit more accessible, there are still some noteworthy restrictions in place. Notably, the code is still only intended to support 11th Gen or greater Intel chips, leaving 10th Gen - which includes most Chromebooks released in 2020 like the Galaxy Chromebook - still unsupported, while AMD Ryzen has no such restrictions. In short, the new code is designed to allow owners of Chromebooks with an Intel i3 or Ryzen 3 processor to easily install Steam. We now have a clearer idea of what else will be changing when Google switches its support for Steam into Beta testing, thanks to a newly posted code change. Over time, this expanded to include the newer 12th generation of Intel chips and even the recent AMD Ryzen-powered Chromebooks.Ī few weeks back, we reported that Google was preparing to move Steam on ChromeOS from early “Alpha” testing into a more open “Beta” test. Google formally unveiled Steam on ChromeOS earlier this year, kicking off with an initial batch of Chromebooks that featured high-end specs, like an 11th Gen Intel i5 or i7 processor and a minimum of 8GB of RAM. Google is widening the test program for Steam on ChromeOS, allowing Chromebooks with (select) Intel i3 and Ryzen 3 processors to start gaming.
