Steam Link for macOS is available on the Mac App Store.

Additionally, both computers must be on the same local network. To run Steam Link, users must have a Mac running macOS 10.13 or higher and another Windows, Mac, or Linux computer running Steam. Just pair an MFI or Steam controller to your Mac, connect to a computer running Steam on the same local network, and start playing your existing Steam games. The Steam Link app allows you to play your Steam games across all your computers. As spotted by eagle-eyed Reddit users, the Steam Link has been quietly released by Valve on the ‌Mac App Store‌.

Steam Link launched on iOS and tvOS in 2019, however, until now it's been unavailable for Mac customers.

However, with the availability of Steam Link on macOS, users now have the option of choosing a lightweight download (29.8MB) to stream games to their Mac, rather than having to install the Steam app proper, which requires 1GB of drive space. Steam users have been able to stream games from within the Steam Mac app for sometime. Plus, I guess, the Steam Link software approach could potentially cause performance compromises - though the system has actually proved pretty effective in its previously launched hardware iteration.Steam Link, which allows users to stream Steam games from a computer to another device, has officially launched on the Mac App Store. You will, of course, need to sort yourself out with a Steam or Apple MFi joystick if you want to play games through your Apple TV. But Steam’s recent development of a software version of the Link system that piggy backs it onto third-party TVs, mobile and set-top boxes has suddenly made the Apple TV a much more potentially interesting gadget for gamers than it ever was before. Steam Link boxes have been around to offer the same service for well over two years. I see the green checkmark on the connection screen, but as soon as its about to switch to the PC view, Apple TV goes straight to Home. This sort of functionality isn’t new in itself, of course. This means, of course, that you can then use your Apple TV to deliver your PC and Mac games onto the big-screen television you’ve presumably got it hooked up to. Adding this tvOS app - which is set to become available on May 21st - to your Apple TV will allow you to stream games to it from any PC or Mac on your network that has Steam installed.
