Valve introduces a new compatibility rating system for third-party devices running SteamOS, expanding the reach of its open-source operating system.
Games will now receive SteamOS Compatibility ratings based on results from compatibility tests focusing on crucial elements such as game functionality and anti-cheat support.
The Lenovo Legion Go S will be the first third-party device to display official ratings for games on Steam, with Valve planning to evaluate and rate over 18,000 games.
Valve's move to support SteamOS on third-party devices is seen as a positive development in the gaming community, potentially providing competition to Windows 11 and Nintendo Switch 2 in the market.
