Announcing new Steam Hardware from Valve: Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame are coming in 2026. Just like Steam Deck, all three devices are optimized for Steam and designed for players to get even more out of their Steam library.

    It’s not terribly important because steam can make their own drivers and update them but they have to usually have a working driver to start from or good documentation from Qualcomm. Patching bugs isn’t all that difficult even with binaries.

      Official support IS important, because the downstream companies can’t (and shouldn’t) be expected to make the support happen.

      It’s Qualcomm’s hardware, only Qualcomm has the internal documentation that ensures the drivers are up to spec, it should be up to them to provide 6-8-10 years of continued support. They don’t because they’re essentially in a monopoly market.
