Valve announces SteamOS compatibility rating system before the launch of Legion Go S. The SteamOS Compatibility system covers any device running SteamOS that’s not a Steam Deck
Any hardware running SteamOS that's not a Steam Deck. Currently the only other officially supported device running SteamOS is Lenovo Legion Go S, but we see this expanding to more devices in the future
> The SteamOS Compatibility system covers any device running SteamOS that’s not a Steam Deck (currently only the Legion Go S falls under this category). SteamOS Compatibility ratings are based on a subset of the Steam Deck Compatibility testing results and are meant to show at a glance whether a game and all of its middleware is supported on SteamOS. This includes features like game functionality, launcher functionality, and anti-cheat support.
>If a game and all of its middleware are supported on SteamOS, we will mark it as SteamOS Compatible. If not, it’s marked as SteamOS Unsupported. Please note that this rating does not include testing results for performance and input, since we will not know (and have not tested) how all titles will run on all potential hardware. We expect over 18,000 titles on Steam to be marked SteamOS compatible out of the gate.
> Steam developers don’t need to take any additional action. If your title already has a Steam Deck Compatibility rating, an automated process will use that data to give it a SteamOS Compatibility rating. For titles that have not yet been tested for Steam Deck Compatibility, the same queue system applies, and we will continue testing new and old titles based on community interest. Once a new title has been tested, both Steam Deck and SteamOS ratings will be generated simultaneously. When this feature is rolled out, SteamOS Compatibility results will show up on your partner dashboard next to Steam Deck Compatibility results.
> We are excited about SteamOS coming to additional hardware and are continuing to work on ways for people to have a better understanding of how games will run on their specific devices. We see this as just the first step.
