I had been saying this stuff for awhile to family based on lil updates on the back end like their x86 emulation and when i first heard about waydroid integration it was so obvious they planned to make quest games easily ported over, its fuckin awesome, everything i expected and i couldnt be happier. i would love to install steamos on my quest 3 if its ever possible lol idk why i said implementing waydroid into proton and emulating quest games tho obviously ik thats not how either works i think i just mispoke in the excitement lol waydroid is implemented into steamos and quest games are natively ran through it obviously.

        Do you have a link? So far all I’ve seen is they said you can sideload APKs, which (to me) is just as good, but apks on Steam is cool too. Here’s hoping Steam for Android benefits as well.

        Again I ask: where?

        I’ve combed through the entirety of coverage of these devices and not seen anything that suggests that.

            I think you’re misremembering. They did say you could sideload APKs but nothing about them being distributed in the Steam store.

                Hmm, you were kinda right. They said “might”. Thanks for that tidbit.

                it’s looking like Google will soon be forced to open up Android to alternative app stores, so Steam might soon be able to easily sell games on phones just like its rival Epic has been trying to do.

                  that quote is about steam being able to put android apps available on google android phones, they do plan to have android games on steam but it seems like not android apps themselves although people could get aurora store anyway i suppose.

                  “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,” says Selan. “They are now free to bring those to Steam, and they’ll just work on this device.”

    Yes… it was a rumour from a leak back then, before your tweet even. We knew pretty much everything beforehand.
