If the ARM translation ends up being something that can be done to run Steam games on Android that would be so cool.
Comment on what exactly is the steam frame?

Yes it can be used standalone, Quest games are built for the Quest, Frame games are PC games translated to ARM. That’ll unlock a lot of games for standalone use, but I seriously doubt something like NMS will run on it’s hardware.

NMS specifically I think might work. It can run on some pretty low-end hardware on their lowest settings, so you might be able to play locally on the Frame.

It’ll need to be some very low settings to hit 4k @ 90fps minimum. Sacrificing frames or resolution in VR is a non-starter. I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, but sounds extraordinarily craptastic to me.

Yeah, I once had to play NMS on low settings, before I had a GPU, and it’s not an especially good-looking game like that. The Frame will probably have better specs than my stop-gap Ryzen 5600G build, but it’s definitely a game that’s more immersive with good hardware.
