That’s Valve’s bullet point in its SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview patch notes about the promised ability to install SteamOS on other handhelds. That feature is expected to officially launch as soon as April, so it tracks that Valve is introducing it in the Preview branch now.

Valve have released SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview, which they noted has the beginnings of support for non-Steam Deck handhelds! So we're closing in on the previously announced Beta for more handhelds. Although this release is still just for Steam Deck.

Yes, you'll be able to play the latest Assassin's Creed game on Valve's gaming handheld from day one. Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be playable on Steam Deck when it launches next week.

Another seriously impressive milestone has been hit. The Steam Deck now has 18,000 games that Valve have rated to be either Playable or Verified.

Assassin's Creed Shadows will be Steam Deck compatible and fully Verified at launch after all, Ubisoft has confirmed. This is a pretty big 180 from Ubisoft, which just weeks ago said in no uncertain terms that Assassin's Creed Shadows wouldn't be Steam Deck compatible at launch due to the mobile hardware's technical limitations.

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be supported on Steam Deck at launch, despite previously saying that Valve’s handheld was not powerful enough to run the upcoming blockbuster.
