  • The Aya Neo Next Lite is the first third-party handheld to use Valve’s Steam OS platform.
  • This marks a change from other non-Valve PC handhelds, which typically run Windows.

The Steam Deck wasn’t the first PC-based handheld console, but it was the first one to use Valve’s Steam OS platform instead of Windows. Now, it turns out that another company is using Steam OS for its own handheld.

Handheld stalwart Aya Neo has announced the Next Lite handheld (h/t: Liliputing), and it’s indeed the first PC handheld to officially run Steam OS.
