Valve is working on a PC handheld called SteamPal which based on Linux system

Since the great success of the Nintendo Switch, many people have renewed their attention to the handheld game console market. Now there is news that Valve also intends to build a PC handheld on the Steam platform.

This is an exclusive report from the media ArsTechnica. They learned from multiple sources that Valve is making a handheld device similar to Switch, based on the Linux system, relying on their own Steam platform with a large number of games. It is currently called SteamPal. In fact, a codenamed Neptune was discovered earlier, which should be closer to the final name.

According to people who have contact with this hardware project, SteamPal will be an all-in-one PC with a touch screen and handle. The Valve handheld is more like a device mainly used for streaming. In fact, they have done unsuccessful Steam Link streaming boxes and strangely-shaped Steam controllers for this kind of hardware product.
