Playing Steam on Raspberry Pi with a Controller

I recently decided to try out playing Steam games on my Raspberry Pi using a controller, but I hit a roadblock. Unfortunately, it's not possible to start the Steam app directly from the controller, which would be the ultimate gaming experience. To play, you need to start the Steam app on your PC first and then use the controller to control your gameplay.

Installing the Steam app on Raspbian is easy - simply search for it in the 'add or remove programs' section. I opted for a Logitech F310 controller and plugged it into my Raspberry Pi. After some trial and error, I was able to get everything set up and running smoothly.

One of the main reasons I decided to use Steam more frequently is because they often have good deals on their store that are sometimes cheaper than those on the PlayStation Store. I have a PS4 and prefer playing games in the living room on my couch with a remote control, but unfortunately, it doesn't work on an Apple TV (4th gen).

For now, I'll just have to continue using my Raspberry Pi to play Steam games from the comfort of my couch. Despite some limitations, it's still a great way to experience PC gaming in the living room.
