Valve is undertaking this work as the company’s Steam Frame headset uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset derived from smartphones.

Valve just let me turn my Android handheld into an unofficial Steam DeckIs it worth installing Steam on an Android handheld?
There doesn’t seem to be a big difference between Steam on Linux and an Android app like GameNative in terms of compatibility. I also didn’t get the impression that there was a significant performance delta between the two platforms, but this is only based on my limited experience.

By contrast, the Steam client doesn’t place these options within easy reach, if they do at all.
