Comment on Valve says it’s still waiting for better chips to power Steam Deck 2
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 19 hours agoI wonder if the technology behind the Steam Frame running games on ARM will ever make it’s way to turning any Android phone into a Steam machine of sorts.

I was just thinking that, some phones are pretty beefy, there’s no reason to not do this.

I mean we can play either KOTOR game on mobile, Lego Star Wars on mobile, Red Dead Redemption is coming out on mobile.
I just looked and DRG: Survivor, TABS, Dredge, Hitman Absolution, Little Nightmares, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Limbo, Human Fall Flat, even Getting Over It are all playable on mobile.

For sure, but those are all individually rebuilt from the ground up for that purpose of running on an arm chip. I can’t run my favourite games from 2008 on my phone, or a weird indie niche title. With technology like this, you probably could, and quite easily if done right.
It’s not just about the games either, it’s a good step towards making all programs somewhat hardware agnostic. The ARM x86 septation was pretty much set in concrete up until now, it’s a crazy advancement.
