It could be done, there are many videos showing people using Steam on a Pi for home streaming. However, achieving portability like the Shield handheld would need significant effort.

Yes, Raspberry Pi runs Linux versions compatible with Steam. Linux supports Xbox controllers and works with most controllers, though compatibility may vary depending on the model.

You can install a modified version of Windows 7 and that fixes everything. The Xbox 360 controller functions properly, and the prices are low right now. Steam also works without issues.

The Steam client needs an x86 processor while the Pi uses an ARM-based chip, making a direct ARM version unavailable. The only option is to locate an affordable x86-based single-board computer for use instead.

So how does it work? From WinXP onward, an x86 CPU became necessary. A quick search showed you can run a light Windows version in VMWare, but there hasn't been any real proof of it working. In my view, it's not feasible because Windows is built for x86 while ARM is used in Pi.

You can always locate another remote that functions on Linux and switch to it instead.

I don't think any Raspberry Pi OS is compatible with Steam. However, there are other single-board computers that can run Ubuntu and might work. You could consider the RIoTboard or CubieBoad, both supporting 2.5-inch SATA hard drives.
