Platform News

Valve releases official Windows drivers for Steam Machine

Windows drivers for Steam Machine make Windows installation possible on Valve's Steam hardware. This is important for Steam users who want full game compatibility in the living room.

Public Beta

SCOS Standard Public Beta is now available

SCOS has reached its first public milestone. With SCOS Builder v0.1.2, users can now create a SCOS Standard installation ISO from their own official Windows ISO.

Release

SCOS Builder v0.1.3 adds timezone support

SCOS Builder v0.1.3 adds timezone selection, generates the SCOS timezone marker, and introduces the new SCOS Builder application icon.

Build Package

SCOS Build Package v0.3.6.5 adds timezone setup

The new build package can read the timezone marker generated by Builder and applies the selected Windows timezone during SCOS setup.

Development

Why SCOS uses Builder instead of direct ISO downloads

SCOS does not distribute Windows. SCOS Builder lets users create a SCOS ISO locally from their own official Windows ISO, keeping the project cleaner and safer.

Roadmap

What’s next for SCOS

Upcoming work includes driver setup foundations, GPU driver update support, improved setup reliability, and optional Recovery Environment integration.
