I can see Steam via GameStream, but that's a tiny bit different as it requires a nVidia GPU while a real Steam client would work with any GPU on the game host. Just wondering if anybody knows anything about it (sorry if I missed the info about it in here).
No, even in the press release and the CES presentation it was stated that the Steam app would allow you to stream from a PC, meaning that it requires a PC (Nvidia GPU) to use. It is NOT a stand-alone app that allows you to stream games like a Steam Link.
The Steam app is tied to Gamestream and will only put a shortcut in Leanback once you use it, which may also be tied to the Nvidia Games app which will be slowly rolled out to 2015 Shield users over the next few weeks and will replace Shield Games and Geforce Now.
