So I want to put my game on Steam AND Android, where players could use the same account to play on both systems.

I made some research and there seems to be a Steam app for Android but I’m unsure if it lets you play Steam games (I can’t test it myself because I don’t own an Android device)

Thank you in advance.

edit: The game would be built with Android in mind obviously, but released on PC as well. I’m not trying to play a PC game on Android, I’m trying to make a game that works on both.

It is technically possible to do a lot of Steam interactions on Android, but you would need to create your own online subsystem to accomplish it, as well as hosting your own web-API to manage requests. Steam does not have a native Android interface, so your game will need to talk to a web server hosted by you, which talks to steam via steam’s web api. It will be a lot of work and you still won’t have a 1-1 feature set.

Glad I found that out from you before trying to release my game on Steam. A feature I want is for Android players to join PC host sessions. I think I’ll just keep it on LAN for now.
