Valve has announced this week that a Steam app is headed to Android and iOS devices.
The application will support screenshots, chat, groups and be able to purchase games on the run.
Gabe Newell, Valve boss, says: "Seeing which of your friends are online and playing a game, sending quick messages, looking at screenshots for an upcoming game, or catching a sale.. these are all features customers have requested. Mobile is changing way people interact, play games and consume media, and the Steam app is part of our commitment to meet customer demands and expand the service functionality of Steam to make it richer and more accessible for everyone."
For now, the app is available in closed beta, with Valve sending out invites "as the service ramps up."
