Thanks to a recent feature update, you can now link your Steam account to your PSN account, allowing you to play Steam games on your PlayStation console. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

What You Need:

After linking your accounts, you can access your Steam game library on your PS4 or PS5 console. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Launch PS4 or PS5: Turn on your PlayStation console and log in to your PSN account.
2. Go to the ‘Library’ Tab: Select the ‘Library’ tab on your console and scroll down to the ‘Cloud Saves’ section.

4. Launch Your Steam Games: Select a game from your Steam library to launch it on your PS4 or PS5 console.

Tips and Considerations:

• Game Availability: Not all Steam games are available on PS4 or PS5. Check the game’s system requirements and compatibility before linking your accounts.
• Controller Compatibility: You’ll need to use a DualShock controller or a third-party controller compatible with Steam to play your Steam games on PS4 or PS5.
• Cloud Saves: If you have cloud saves enabled on your Steam account, they will be synced to your PS4 or PS5 console. You can access these cloud saves on your console.

By following these steps and linking your Steam account to your PSN account, you’ll be able to play your Steam games on your PS4 or PS5 console, avoiding the need to switch between accounts and enjoy a seamless gaming experience.
