TL;DR Summary
Valve released SteamOS 3.8, the first version to run on all hardware configurations, letting you convert a PC into a Steam Machine. AMD GPU support is in beta, with Nvidia support planned for 2027. To install, download the SteamOS image, create a bootable USB (Rufus on Windows; Balena Etcher on macOS/Linux), disable Secure Boot in BIOS, and use the Re-image Device option. The Steam Machine goes on sale June 30 exclusively through Steam, with a new ordering method to avoid past launch issues.
