SteamOS is ontworpen door Valve als een besturingssysteem gericht op het spelen van games, natuurlijk in combinatie met de Steam store. Het kan ook games streamen van een ander Linux, Mac OS X of Windows systeem in het netwerk. Valve heeft een update van SteamOS in de brewmaster beta-tak uitgebracht met 2.117 als het versienummer. De bijbehorende aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
SteamOS update 2.117 released to brewmaster
This is a very large update. It includes a new 4.11 Linux kernel, and updated drivers for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA graphics hardware. This update also switches SteamOS from the proprietary AMDGPU-PRO driver to the open source mesa driver. Debian 8.8 and security updates are also included.
