- Valve is releasing a compatibility rating system for third-party devices that run Steam OS.
- The rating system will tell you if a game and its features are supported on Steam OS.
- This compatibility rating system will roll out over the next few weeks.
There are plenty of handheld gaming PCs out on the market, but only the Steam Deck runs on Steam OS. However, it will soon be joined by the Lenovo Legion Go S, with more to follow. In preparation for the launch of these third-party Steam OS devices, Valve is rolling out a rating system that will let you know how compatible a game is for these devices.
Valve has announced that over the next few weeks, it will launch the Steam OS Compatibility system. This rating system will cover all Steam OS devices that aren’t a Steam Deck (this only includes the Legion Go S at the moment). These ratings are based on a subset of the existing Steam Deck Compatibility testing results.
