Mike Ybarra also urged Valve to make SteamOS available to other hardware manufacturers.
Former Xbox executive and former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra publicly called on Valve to open up SteamOS so third-party companies can deploy it on a wide range of hardware.
Dear Valve Software — please allow third parties to use SteamOS and ship devices in a variety of configurations. SteamOS would take off, and your store’s revenues would grow.
He argued that the move could also be a lifeline for Xbox: rather than continuing to push Windows with “AI, Copilot, Teams, and the rest,” Microsoft could release consoles and devices running SteamOS and substantially strengthen its market position.
