SteamOS Brewmaster Has Been Brewing Some New Features

Written by Michael Larabel in Valve on 15 January 2016 at 10:03 PM EST. 3 Comments

For those that haven't been following the SteamOS 2.0 "Brewmaster" updates, it's been a rather exciting 2016 so far.

Among the features that have landed in SteamOS 2 over the past week have included Xbox One Elite Controller support, updates to its packaged Linux kernel and other key packages, and then coming in today was Bluetooth support. The Bluetooth support allows for basic support for connecting to Bluetooth devices directly from the Steam UI on SteamOS for newer Bluetooth LE/Smart devices.

If you want to give the latest SteamOS beta a try this weekend, you can download it for free as always from SteamPowered.com.
