- Valve is expanding SteamOS to other handheld PCs beyond the Steam Deck, starting with Asus ROG Ally.
- A new 'SteamOS Compatible' label will be introduced to indicate game compatibility on SteamOS, including functionality and anti-cheat support.
- Games not meeting compatibility requirements will be labeled 'SteamOS Unsupported,' though they may still run with potential issues.
- Over 18,000 titles will initially be marked as SteamOS compatible, with no extra effort needed from developers if their games already support Steam Deck.
- SteamOS uses Proton to run Windows applications, improving compatibility but still not matching Windows' full game support.
