The true number of playable games is of course much higher, but this is still an impressive milestone.
For comparison: the Nintendo Switch has roughly 4500 games available for it, the PS5 has about 500 games (+ 3500 PS4 games), and the Xbox Series X/S have 400 (+ 3000 Xbox One games).
I’ve heard that while it’s not exactly SteamOS… ChimeraOS gives a very similar experience, should you own one of those Windows handhelds and don’t want to use Windows primarily on it.
I think that’s a great option for end users, but I’d really like to see it as an officially supported OS for these devices when purchased.
If nothing else, the companies could offer a version of the device without an included license for a discount, I think saving 50+ dollars up front and getting a better user experience would be appealing to a lot of people.
