SteamOS is continuing its slow march to fuller support on a wider variety of non-Valve hardware. This weekend’s release of the SteamOS 3.8.25 Beta includes “initial gamepad support” for a few recent gaming handhelds and improved support for a few others.

Those newly supported handhelds include MSI’s Claw 8 EX AI+, the extremely expensive, extremely powerful handheld built around Intel’s Arc G3 processor that launched this summer. While SteamOS has long included beta support for “other AMD powered handhelds,” Valve has only recently been working on offering compatibility with Intel-based handhelds like the MSI Claw line.

SteamOS 3.8.25 also newly supports the controllers built into Ayaneo’s Android-focused Pocket S2 and the more recently released Windows-based Konkr Fit. Valve also says the new OS offers “improved support” for older MSI Claw devices and the OneXPlayer line of portable gaming PCs.
