Valve confirmed the desire to make the notebook Steam Deck run without compatibility issues o Windows 11, next version of Microsoft’s operating system.
In an interview with the website PC Gamer, designer Greg Coomer confirmed talks between Valve and AMD, which is responsible for the device’s chips, to ensure it has the technology responsible to run the platform. According to him, there are no indications of incompatibility.
The main problem to be faced is meet the requirement of Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0), a security component that will be mandatory for Windows 11. The search for part manufacturers even made prices soar suddenly on the market. In addition, you must ensure that the BIOS is also ready for an eventual update.
Optimism
“There’s a commitment to looking at TPM right now. We’ve focused so much on Windows 10 so far that we haven’t gone much further than that. But our expectations are that they’ll be able to deliver on that,” explains Coomer.
The possibility of replacing SteamOS 3.0 with Windows is one of the advantages of Steam Deck for consumers, which will even allow them to play games from other platforms, such as Epic Games Store and Xbox Game Pass.
The Steam Deck expects releases for the first regions in December 2021.
