While the specs doesn’t meet the requirements to run latest games, the main idea behind SteamBoy is to offer gamers a way to access their Steam library, from anywhere they want.
It’s not the best time for portable gaming consoles. Devices like PS Vita and and NVIDIA’s Shield is still suffering in the market. However, with the new wake of Steam OS and the ability to sync games between PC and console, will make a great selling point for the SteamBoy.
Pricing and release dates for the SteamBoy hasn’t been announced yet.
