Valve expands SteamOS support to additional non-Valve hardware

A software update released this week adds a series of enhancements to MSI’s Intel‑based Claw 8 EX AI+ handheld gaming device, alongside improvements for several other MSI products. The patch, identified as version 1.3.0, was distributed through MSI’s Dragon Center utility and is intended to refine system stability, boost frame‑rate consistency, and optimize the device’s on‑board artificial‑intelligence features.

According to the accompanying release notes, the update refines power‑management algorithms to extend battery life during intensive gaming sessions, recalibrates the AI‑assisted upscaling engine for sharper image rendering, and resolves compatibility issues reported with recent Windows 11 builds. Additional minor bug fixes address peripheral connectivity and firmware synchronization across MSI’s broader hardware lineup. The company advises users to apply the update promptly to benefit from the performance and reliability enhancements.
