The Steam Phone Is Real (But Not What You Think)
This video reveals the long-term, secret strategy Valve has been funding for nearly a decade to fundamentally change the future of PC gaming and mobile devices. It breaks down the revolutionary technology stack—including FEX (for x86 to ARM translation), Proton (for Windows to Linux API translation), and Lepton (for running Android apps on SteamOS)—that creates a bridge allowing full Windows PC games to run natively on powerful ARM chips, such as those found in Android phones and high-end tablets. This technology is being publicly tested in the new Steam Frame VR headset but provides the blueprint for running an entire Steam library and even Android games directly on your pocket devices without cloud streaming or expensive developer porting.
