Valve have released a Steam beta client which has a new feature tucked into it
called Remote Downloads. Remote Downloads is a feature that lets users manage
their game libraries remotely. This means that users can login to the official
Steam site and have access to their game list.
From
here, they can start downloads and monitor their progress. The only requirement
is that Steam has to be left running on their PC, which is obvious. Because
Remote Downloads is done through a standard web browser, this means that smart
devices like smartphones and tablets should be able to get in on the fun.
At the
moment, the Steam apps for iOs and Android allow game purchases, but don't play
well with a home installation of Steam. This function should be baked into the
app once Remote Downloads makes its way out of beta, and into Steam as a proper
feature. Nice work, Valve!
