Games are not a strong suit of Chromebooks, but thanks to the Linux Support, now you can install and play many desktop-level games on Chrome OS. Steam is one of the best digital game distribution platforms and it’s officially supported on Linux. So, you can get it running on Chrome OS and enjoy desktop games. And the best part is that you don’t need to move your Chromebook to the Developer Mode or install Crouton. Things are quite straightforward now and the installation process is a breeze. So without any delay, let’s go ahead and learn how to install and play Steam games on a Chromebook.
Install and Play Steam Games on a Chromebook (Updated 2021)
Here, we have mentioned the steps to install and play Steam games on a Chromebook. Along with that, we have also tested a few Steam games to check if Chromebooks can be a viable alternative for desktop gaming. Keep in mind, if you have a school-issued Chromebook and the administrator has locked Linux on your Chromebook then you won’t be able to run Steam. Having said all of that, let’s now go through the installation process step by step.
1. First and foremost, set up Linux on your Chromebook by following the linked article. After that, enable GPU acceleration for Linux in Chromebook for better graphics and smoother gameplay. In case, GPU acceleration is not enabled, don’t worry, just move on with the steps.
2. Next, open the Linux Terminal and execute the below command. It will update Linux on your Chromebook to the latest build. If you get any errors, don’t worry, just move on.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
3. Now, click on this link to download the setup file of Steam. Similar to the EXE format on Windows, it’s a DEB file for Linux. Next, move the DEB file to the “Linux” section in the Files app.
5. Having done that, double-click on the setup file and click on “Install“. It will start installing Steam on your Chromebook.
6. After the installation, press the “Search” key on the keyboard and search for “steam”. After that, open it.
7. Alternatively, you can open the App Drawer and manually look for the Linux folder. After that, open Steam. The Linux folder generally resides on the last page of the App Drawer.
8. Now, Steam will automatically start downloading dependencies and libraries which are needed to smoothly run Steam on Chromebook.
9. After the update, Steam will automatically open up. Now, sign in to your Steam account. If Steam does not pop up after the update then open it manually from the App Drawer.
10. Finally, there you have it. Steam running successfully on a Chromebook. But there is one more setting that you should enable.
11. Click on Steam at the top-right corner and go to Settings -> Steam Play -> Enable Steam Play for all other titles and click on “OK”. This will unlock and allow you to run several Windows games that are not natively available for Linux.
12. In our testing, we installed Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on our Chromebook through Steam, but it failed to run. However, other non-intensive games like Among Us, Stardew Valley, Squad, Tank Force ran absolutely fine and without any graphics issue. I would recommend you to try your favorite Steam games and see if they work on your Chromebook.

Play Your Heart Out with Steam Games on a Chromebook
So that was our short guide on how to install Steam and play games on a Chromebook. While the installation process is not a one-click process like on Windows OS, it’s still quite straightforward and all you need is a bit of familiarity with Linux. So go ahead and install various Steam games to check if your Chromebook can handle graphics-intensive games.
Anyway, that is all from us. But how has been your experience? Let us know in the comment section below. Also, if you love playing Minecraft, you can install it on your Chromebook without Steam. In case, Steam didn’t work for you then you can use GeForce Now on your Chromebook. It’s a cloud gaming service and does not require Linux support. On top of that, the game library is pretty huge.
Totally late at this point but for other people who are just figuring this out as well. Once linux has installed and opened steam, the game will say that its non-installable. Go click on the settings button right next to the info button, open properties, configuration and click the one button available on that page. From there it should ask if you want to add to home bar or shortcut. Tada! Hope this helps
thank you sm!!!!
Where is the settings button?
i get an error everytime this is the error

thanks OP & commenters for your help
sucessful install
hope I can run games
where is the return button
it is enter
I keep getting this error : You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6
Any tips? Ive tried updating too and nothing
hi try this after install, do each one in the terminal:
1) sudo apt install libc6-i386
2) sudo dpkg –add-architecture i386
3) sudo apt-get update
4) sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6:i386
Thanks
these commands keep giving me errors…
and once i run them i still get the same error.
it says ‘unable to locate package’
Sorry but thats the same problem i used to have theirs nothing you can do unless u but another Chromebook :<.
I have the same issue did u find a solution?
i have the same problem did u find a solution?
Alright so I fixed my problem with the deb file and what I did is went to my account on Steam, now I do not have Steam installed, I have an account and what I did was got to the top right where it shows my email. So I click on my email and it then shows View Profile, Account Details, Logout, preferences, etc. So click on preferences and your going to go all the way to the bottom where it says “Platform Preferences”. And underneath it it’ll say Operating Systems and there’s 3 boxes you can check Windows, Mac OS X, and SteamOS + Linux. Check the last one and then go back to the install, under windows click on Steam and once it downloads, go to your files and find the Steamdeb file and click it and then you might be able to install it.
When you get to the install Steam page dont click the windows installation, underneath it you’ll see the apple icon and the steam icon. Click the steam icon and that will download the deb file so once that is finished go to the file and you should be able to install it. When your done with that just message back.
Got everything working on Samsung chromebook 4, I can open my downloaded steam games but game pads are not recognized. I’ve tried wierd Xbox 360 & Logitech controllers. I’m bummed to get this far and hit a roadblock. Anybody know how I can fix this?
I got to the part of downloading Steam through the Linux installer. It just says error, and that there is not enough storage. It says to run ‘dpkg — configure -a to correct the problem, but I have no clue what to do from there. I have most of my files taken off of my Chromebook and it still says I have only 1.8 Gb of storage left but I didn’t think this was a big download. Anyways, Chromebook is dumb for taking up 7.3 GB from the “system” itself and only putting 15 GB of data on the device in total.
same i wish there was a way to get around this
IT WORKED! But tbh, there are a lot of other steps you need to take apart from what’s shown here to actually make it work.
what other steps did you take?
holy shit it actually works
how long did your take to download…mine is taking ages
is this clickbait? it looks reliable.
yeah i have the same problem is this clickbait? it looks reliable.
okay so like, after i got it installed and everything it simply said, cannot run steam without internet connection, even though im connected, help ;-;
simple fix add more storage
Once i ran the commands in order, I received the same messages, however I was able to use the linux installer to run the install by just going to steams website, and downloading the linux (steam) installer. worked like a charm.
All went well until: “sudo apt install steam”
It said this:
Reading package lists… Done

Reading state information… Done

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Can anyone help?
Instead of doing this the complicated way, just install the linux beta, head over to the steam website, click on “Install Steam” and underneath the Windows icon, next to the Apple icon, click on the steam icon. This will download the .deb file. Open the .deb file after linux has finished installing. The .deb file will install steam for you. If you run into any issues, it’s important to first update linux by opening a terminal window and simply pasting “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade”. Hit return and when everything finishes in the terminal window hit “Y” to accept. Linux will be updated and you can go and install steam using the .deb file.
This worked up until i tried installing steam with the .deb file and its saying Failed Retrieve App info.
App drawer? how do i get to this?
For me it says: Unable to locate package steam. How do i fix this?
Were you able to figure out what the issue was because I’ve got the exact same problem.
Same problem here. Did anyone find a solution yet?
how do i get around this error message?

I am having the exact same problem, it says does not support this device

I have steam but cannot install any of the games I have, any ideas?
I am having the exact same problem, it says does not support this device

have u fixed it, and if u did, please let me know
have u fixed it, and if u did, please let me know
This was the only tutorial that worked on my machine. After the install I was never prompted for a login so I just typed steam into the command line. When it updated and opened, it then asked to login and after that I was able to browse my collection and play games. You might have to allocate more memory under the storage management section in settings for linux then restart the linux app and steam.
When I type sudo apt update it give this error:
‘sudo’ is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
What should I do?
the window for steam didnt show up for me and if it did where can i find it?
I meant steam did not show up for me if thats what it is supposed to do
Im having the same issue!
Everything works fine until I try to download a game. Everything pops up like it should, then when I hit download it says “An error occurred while updating the game (invalid platform”
I’m seeing this error
You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6
i downloaded steam through this process but when i go to download rise of nations the install button is greyed out. The game is already purchased
that is my problem too i just contacted steam support if they help me ill let you know!
hey, did they respond? I’m having the same problem for a game I spent $20 dollars on. thanks 🙂
Hi, I was able to install steam and download Binding of Isaac. However when I hit play to launch the game within the Steam app, it launches a little window which promptly disappears. The game never launches. The play button in Steam switches to Launching and then back to Play. I tried sudo apt update and upgrade and it didn’t help.
Any recommendations?
legit the same thing happens to me PLEASE HELP

I really appreciate the help!
I mislabeled that second part. Sorry. That is obviously what happened when I tried run Steam. I apologize for the confusion.
Okay, so when I type in Sudo apt update, what I get is this message = E: Malformed entry 4 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Absolute suite component). What should I do
There is an error in the source list. You can reinstall Linux to fix this issue.
can you please help me i cant figure out the final steps.. i got to the point where i did the download and the steam app is in my linux folder but anytime i click it it just will not open the steam
Doesn’t work whatsoever if you’re trying to do it give up
Wow. It honestly makes me sad to hear that, considering I just did it with no issues. Maybe check to see if you typed something in wrong?
my friend and i were trying to get this to work in order to play stardew on her chromebook, and it seems like we got through everything. steam is downloaded and stardew was installed. but once she tried to open stardew, steam froze and it wouldn’t load at all. we’ve tried to uninstall and reinstall steam and the game itself multiple times, but nothing has worked yet. are we overlooking something that’s super simple? we got so close but we weren’t able to run the game 🙁
You need powerful specs to run Steam on Chromebook. At least, an Intel i3.
When I opened steam it says it failed to install so what should I do
I wrote in the first 3 commands, and nothing happened.
did you hit enter in between each command
the mini window never popped up, idrk what to do.
I’m having the same issue
There’s a fix in a comment below, look in your app drawer and you should be able to find the linux folder with steam in it
Everything seems to be working out and I can get into Steam, but when I try to play/download any of the games, it says “An error has occurred while updating *game* (invalid platform)”. Do I need to setup something like Wine (if so, please explain to me the steps/commands)? If not, then is it not possible to play any Steam games on a Chromebook (I have an Acer Chromebook 13)? It took me around 45 minutes to install Steam on my Chromebook because problems kept popping up and know I feel I did it for nothing.
You can install games from Linux+Steam OS section. And no, you can’t run Steam on Wine.
when I open the steam shortcut, it loads then stops. and when I type steam in the terminal, i get this:/usr/games/steam: 16: /usr/games/steam: /home/onenut09/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam: Exec format error
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
What do I do?
I tried and went through with everything here, and it does say its updating steam, but when it finishes and moves on to extracting steam, it says it cant because it failed to load steamui.so? what can i do to make it work?
I followed all the steps all the way to selecting “I AGREE” and the installation continued to completion, but no steam log-in came up. How do I get that to happen? (I have absolutely ZERO Linux experience)
Open the app drawer and look for the Linux folder. There you will find the Steam shortcut. Or else, you can just type steam in the Terminal and hit enter to run Steam.
So when I double click on the Steam shortcut it starts to load and nothing happens for a minute until this pops up–You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6. How do I fix this?

E: unable to locate package steam
so now i dont know what im supposed to do, i do have decent knowledge techwise and and more than competent on windows platforms but im a complete newcomer to linux.
please help

You should be connected to the internet to execute this command. Anyway, try sudo apt-get install steam or sudo apt-get install steam-installer.
I am having same issue and tried your two commands but still saying unable to locate.
I tried all of these and none of them worked, im getting the same message as them ^
In that case, try the Steam installer. Download the DEB file and run it from the Files app, just like you run EXE files on Windows. After that, open the Linux folder from app drawer and open Steam for further installation.
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb
What does your last sentence there mean? I downloaded this file and it installed. I then got a window saying the installation was complete, clicked ok. Then nothing happened. How do I “open Linux folder from app drawer and open Steam for further installation”? What is the Linux folder? (I have a Linux client but not a folder) and open Steam? There is no Steam icon in my app drawer 🙂
There should be a folder named “Linux apps” inside the app drawer. It usually sits on the first page. Open it and click on Steam for further installation. Apart from that, you can also run ‘steam’ (without quotes) on Linux Terminal to proceed with the installation.
This worked beautifully! I did the ‘steam’ on Linux Terminal option to proceed with the installation. I’m super not techy so your guidance has been excellent! Thank you!
