Valve has released the SteamOS 3.80 preview build. The update adds basic compatibility with the upcoming Steam Machine hardware, a graphical screencast feature, controller Bluetooth support, and fixes for GPU memory handling.
The build signals that Valve is preparing to show the console, but the exact launch window is still unknown. A recent shortage of RAM chips has pushed the schedule back by several months, and some reports suggested the device might miss a 2026 release. Valve has denied those rumors.
Enthusiasts can join the preview channel to test the new build on supported PCs. While the preview provides a glimpse of what the final system will look like, the final price and availability details are still pending.
