Valve has added official support for Intel chipsets to SteamOS via a beta update, improving compatibility for handhelds like the MSI Claw 8 AI+. While performance on Windows 11 currently surpasses SteamOS on these devices, this broader compatibility could offer a more affordable alternative to the Steam Deck, especially if prices drop further.
