It’s possible to play steam games on your iPad. Simply, download the steam link app for ios and connect it to the PC from where you want to choose and play your favorite game.
Although before 2018, no steam app is available for IOS. Only android users can get this from the google play store. Time passed, and now in 2022, there’s an official version of the steam app for Ios devices that you can download for free on your Ipad or iPhone.
Before you download, make sure that your iPad runs on 13.1 IOS or later to run the app. A lower Ios version than this will result in bugs and lags, in fact, the app will bring up compatibility issues.
