Valve Teases New Era of SteamOS Devices with Updated Branding

Valve is hinting at a potential revival of Steam Machines with new "Powered by SteamOS" branding, suggesting official SteamOS compatibility for third-party hardware. Valve's Lawrence Yang has expressed interest in expanding SteamOS to more handheld devices, and recent updates indicate progress towards this goal. The improved compatibility and performance of modern SteamOS, especially with the success of the Steam Deck, make it a viable alternative to Windows for gaming hardware manufacturers.
