PC: Minimum PC specs are required to run a Steam account.

Steam account: Steam is free software that allows you to download and play games on your PC.

For this tutorial, we’re using a kit to skip the installation process. If you already have a Pi, you do have to take extra steps to install the software.

Since we’re streaming video games, we’ll be using an ethernet cable. There are many Raspberry Pi kits on the market, but for my project, I chose a CanaKit model that came with every Pi element I needed: a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB), a USB-C power adapter, a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, a 64GB microSD card, a case to house the Pi, a cooling fan, and a USB card reader, and a Pi switch.
