With the dawn of GDC 2011, Valve has made a big announcement which will bring a highly demanded feature to fruition. Steam will be accessible on ‘more devices throughout the home’ with ‘Big Picture Mode’. The new addition will allow for controller support and access to Steam and its features on several devices.
“Our partners and customers have asked us to make Steam available in more places. With the introduction of Steam on the Mac, and soon in Portal 2 on the PS3T, we’ve done just that,” said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing for Valve. “With big picture mode, gaming opportunities for Steam partners and customers become possible via PCs and Macs on any TV or computer display in the house.”
The exact details of how this all works in practice will be shared with press and developers during GDC this week.
