Steam (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PlayStation 3
At E3 2010, Newell announced that Steamworks would arrive on the PlayStation 3 with Portal 2. It will provide automatic updates, community support, downloadable content and other unannounced features.[106] Portal 2's PlayStation 3 release saw Steamworks make its debut on consoles. Several features were offered including cross-platform play and instant messaging, Steam Cloud for saved games, and the ability for PS3 owners to download Portal 2 from Steam (Windows and Mac) at no extra cost.[4] Valve's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will also support Steamworks and cross-platform features on the PlayStation 3, including using keyboard and mouse controls as an alternative to the gamepad.[107] Valve said they "hope to expand upon this foundation with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases".[7] Steam has an estimated 50–70% share of the digital distribution market for video games.[8]


Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (abbreviated as CS:GO) is an online first-person shooter developed by Valve Corporation and Hidden Path Entertainment, who also maintained Counter-Strike: Source after its release. It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike franchise, excluding Counter-Strike Neo and Online.

Global Offensive was released on August 21, 2012, and made available for Microsoft Windows and OS X on Steam, Xbox Live Arcade, and a US-only version on PlayStation Network. It features classic content, such as revamped versions of classic maps; as well as brand new maps, characters and game modes. Cross-platform multiplayer was planned between Windows, OS X and PSN players,[4] but was ultimately limited to Windows and Mac OS because of the differences in update-frequency between systems.[5] The PSN version offers three input control methods, which include using either the DualShock 3 controller, PlayStation Move or USB keyboard/mouse.



I think'll will have to wait till the PS4, to see more "Steam" Integration for Valve's games because obviously the PS3's outdated hardware can't keep up with current PC games.

As of now, the only steam compatible game is portal 2 and it only shares updates with steam so it's not even fully compatible with steam as we know it.
