Steam adds Mad Max Movie Franchise to the service

Steam adds Mad Max Movie Franchise to the service

 

Steam was once a place which was exclusive to games, but now it has move to cover other software, video game soundtracks and a few documentaries. Today Steam has now started offering some of their first movies to steam, starting with the Mad Max Franchise.  

  

 

This is not the first time that movies have been released on Steam, but so far this has been almost exclusive to documentaries like Indie Game the Movie and Free to Play as well as a few few video game related web series’ like Payday: The Web Series.

This is the first mainstream movie franchises to make the move to the steam platform, but right now the films newest iteration, Mad Max: Fury Road is only available for pre-purchase. These movies will only be available in a Stream-only format. 

 

 

 

This could be one small step toward Steam becoming more than just a game delivery platform, becoming a service more akin to the Apple store or Google Play. Steam already sell game soundtracks and software, so is movies that big of a step?
