Home » Steam Machine hardware support appears in latest SteamOS build, along with loads of Steam deck tweaks

Valve has just released SteamOS 3.8.0 Preview: Second Clutch, the latest preview version of the operating system used on its Steam Decks and which will be running on the upcoming Steam Machine. Along with a host of new features and bug fixes for existing hardware, the new release also includes “Initial support for upcoming Steam Machine hardware.” We of course already know the Steam Machine specs, so the hardware reveal isn’t a revelation, but it’s yet another sign of how Valve remains committed to releasing its highly anticipated desktop gaming companion cube this year.
