Hello! Today we are announcing a new compatibility rating system for SteamOS devices. It’s an extension of the Steam Deck Verified process, which has been a useful tool for players to make decisions around what games to purchase and play on their Steam Decks. With the Legion Go S – Powered by SteamOS shipping soon, we are expanding Deck Verified and introducing SteamOS Compatibility ratings. These new ratings will roll out over the next few weeks.
I find this to be great and am particularly comforted by the following:
Can my SteamOS Compatibility test results be worse than Deck Verified?
No. SteamOS Compatibility results will all be the same or higher than Steam Deck Verified results.
We’ve recently seen games that are hard locked to work on Steam Deck hardware specifically, but will be anticheat blocked on any other linux/SteamOS device with different hardware.

So that may not actually work out.
