핸드헬드 게임기 OS 판도 바뀌나…스팀OS, 인텔 기반 MSI 기기 지원 시작

SteamOS's support for Intel Arc G3-based handhelds marks a strategic inflection point where Valve could establish SteamOS as the de facto operating system for gaming handhelds, akin to iOS's dominance in mobile phones. This directly challenges Microsoft's Windows monopoly and signals Valve's commitment to making Linux-based SteamOS a practical alternative backed by Steam's market dominance. If Valve can deliver stable SteamOS builds across competing hardware platforms, the handheld gaming landscape could shift dramatically, offering gamers a lightweight, Windows-free ecosystem.
