About SteamOS
SteamOS is the operating system Valve builds for playing Steam games on dedicated devices. It is designed around the Steam client and its controller-friendly interface. Valve publishes official installation and repair guidance for putting SteamOS on supported hardware.
Support is expanding beyond Valve's own devices to additional AMD-powered PCs. Check Valve's compatibility guidance before installing, as not every PC is supported.
