Valve has been quietly improving Steam Remote Play, its built-in tool for streaming games from a PC to other devices around the home, according to PC Gamer. The changes suggest Valve is working towards making Remote Play more competitive with third-party streaming solutions that many PC gamers currently rely on for a better in-home streaming experience.

The report notes that enthusiasts often turn to additional software, such as Moonlight or Sunshine, to get lower latency and higher-quality streaming than Steam's native feature currently offers. Valve's ongoing work on Remote Play hints at a future where users may no longer need to install these extra tools to achieve the best possible in-home game streaming performance, though the article does not specify a timeline or exact technical changes involved.
