As per a report by The Verge, Lenovo is currently the only partner for a SteamOS device but Valve is expected to be close to publicly releasing a new beta of its SteamOS that just might possibly start working on other handhelds as well. And it is vaguely possible that the SteamOS beta could arrive before the SteamOS Legion Go S.
