Valve is expanding its Linux-based SteamOS to more handheld PCs, starting with Asus ROG Ally models. To facilitate this transition, the Steam storefront will introduce a 'SteamOS Compatible' label to indicate the compatibility of games and their middleware. While over 18,000 titles are set to be marked compatible, the label will also highlight games that may face significant compatibility issues. SteamOS utilizes Proton technology for running Windows games, providing better compatibility than previous versions, though it still lacks full support for all Windows games.
Valve is expanding SteamOS beyond the Steam Deck, introducing a new 'SteamOS Compatible' label to indicate game compatibility on Linux-based systems.
Over 18,000 games on Steam will be marked as SteamOS compatible, signifying support for functionality but not guaranteeing that all titles will run perfectly.
SteamOS employs Proton technology to run unmodified Windows applications, vastly enhancing game compatibility on Linux but still facing limitations compared to Windows.
Developers won't need to do extra work to get the SteamOS Compatible label if their games already support the Steam Deck, making it easier for consumers.
