The move lets developers inspect, modify and build on the code, potentially improving Android app support on Linux systems and Steam Deck devices. Linux community members are welcoming the release, seeing it as another sign of Valve's commitment to open-source desktop gaming and software.

Valve has updated its Steam Deck compatibility list for September 2026, adding nine new verified titles. The most notable inclusion is Well Dweller, a critically acclaimed metroidvania. The update confirms those games run smoothly on the handheld, and Linux gaming communities are highlighting Well Dweller's verification as the standout of the month.
