Is it possible to play steam games in Arch?

I installed Steam and when I start it nothing happens.
I checked the wiki and tried a few suggestions but still nothing.
I have a Nvidia GTX760 video card.

When I start Steam in terminal this is what I get:

[len@arch_len ~]$ steam
Running Steam on arch 4.1.6-1-ARCH 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)

But then nothing happens.

Thanks!
Len

The answer to the topic title is yes

Error sounds like another post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=202084

If that's not actually the same issue it would help to know exactly what "I checked the wiki and tried a few suggestions but still nothing" means
