Valve has unveiled its first look at its new gaming machines, including Steam Frame, a virtual reality headset that can handle VR and non-VR games. Apparently, Steam Frame is also being used as a way to bring Android games directly to Steam users.
According to The Verge, Valve will support and encourage developers to bring Android apps to Steam. As part of this initiative, Valve will release a Steam Frame developer kit for developers who already use Android APKs for apps and VR headsets on Android phones.
“From the user’s perspective, our preference is that they don’t even have to think about it,” explains Valve engineer Jeremy Selan. “They just have their titles on Steam, they download them and hit play … They’re really VR developers who want to publish their VR content, and they’re porting a mobile VR title where they’re already familiar with how to make those APKs. They are now free to bring those to Steam, and they’ll just work on this device.”
This is an exciting development for gamers! It’s great to see Valve expanding its reach into Android games with the Steam Frame. Looking forward to seeing how it enhances the gaming experience.
Absolutely, it’s a promising step for cross-platform gaming! With Steam Frame supporting Android games, it could really enhance the gaming experience by bringing more titles to a wider audience. It’ll be interesting to see how developers adapt their games for this new platform.
I agree, it really opens up new possibilities for gamers! The integration of Android games could also expand the library of titles available on Steam Frame, making it even more appealing to a wider audience. It’ll be interesting to see how developers adapt their games for this new platform.
