Valve has confirmed that SteamOS support is coming to the Asus ROG Ally and other third-party handheld consoles.
As reported by The Verge, Valve designer Lawrence Yang confirmed the news after an update was spotted in the latest SteamOS patch notes.
“The note about ROG Ally keys is related to third-party device support for SteamOS,” Yang said. “The team is still working to add support for additional wearable devices on SteamOS.”
Yang said Valve is “making progress” on making SteamOS available on devices like the ROG Ally, but “it's not ready to go out of the box yet.”
He also confirmed that progress has been made on dual-boot support and that Windows drivers for the Steam Deck OLED are in the works.
“There's no update on when dual-boot support will be available – it's still a priority, but we haven't been able to get there yet,” Yang said.
