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-, macOS- of Windows-systeem in het netwerk. Valve heeft eerder dit jaar twee updates van SteamOS uitgebracht, de eerste in de brewmaster-tak met 2.148 als het versienummer, en de tweede in de brewmaster bèta-tak met 2.149 als het versienummer. De bijbehorende aankondigingen zien er als volgt uit:
