Valve is getting ready to capitalize on its impressive SteamOS work.
Valve confirmed to The Verge this week that it’s working on supporting SteamOS on rival handhelds like Asus’ ROG Ally. It’s a significant move that could mean we eventually see Steam Deck-like devices running on Valve’s custom OS instead of Windows. If Microsoft doesn’t act fast, it could soon find itself in a battle to keep Windows relevant on handheld gaming PCs. Valve has sold “multiple millions” of its Steam Deck handheld gaming PC.
He regularly travels with a ROG Ally and has previously said he’s “a big fan of handhelds.” In an IGN interview in June, Spencer even said “I think we should have a handheld, too.” I’ve written multiple times how I think any Xbox handheld should be Windows-based, with the ability to run Xbox games and the full Xbox dashboard taking over the interface you see when you boot the device up.
