Recently, Van announced that Steam Deck will no longer be the only handheld console equipped with Van open source Linux system, and more devices will join this camp soon.To welcome the launch of Lenovo Legion Go S (SteamOS version), V will launch a gaming compatibility rating program for third-party devices.

V.com explained in the announcement: "The first batch of more than 18,000 Steam games are expected to be certified. This rating will be applied synchronously to all Steam Deck-verified games in the future. This rating is based on some data from the Steam Deck compatibility test, and aims to visually present the support of SteamOS by the game and all its middleware, covering key elements such as core functions, launcher compatibility, and anti-cheat systems.

This rating is only visible to users of non-Deck devices such as Legion Go S. It will be displayed side by side with the Steam Deck verification logo. In addition to operating feasibility, it will also indicate key information such as networking requirements.V Club specifically emphasized that games verified by Deck will only receive the same or higher rating on SteamOS ratings to avoid the situation where Deck can run while other devices cannot run.

The opening of the SteamOS ecosystem this time is natural.This rating system will play a role similar to the compatibility description in the iOS/Android app store. VS also said that this is just a "first step" to help players identify the game that the device is adapted to.For more details, please pay attention to follow-up reports.
