A gaming phone controller accessory that connects physically to phone (With same layout and functionality like the Steam Controller, Steam Deck, and Steam Frame Controllers) Would be cheaper than regular Steam Controller
With FEX making x86 Steam games capable of working on ARM devices it will be cool to game on mobile with mobile controller that has the dual touch control pad things the hardware above has to go with the phone and what better way than another option aside from the actual controller. Plus it gives phone more of a Gameboy Advance type of feel to play like that
Maybe to incentivize more people to have that you can use gaming phone accessory wirelessly or wired connected to any Steam hardware for using your phone with the gaming phone controller accessory as controllers too
Like the idea? Not like the idea? Anyone wanna suggest changes/additions/etc to the idea to be better be my guest.
Also if anyone wants to suggest other stuff Valve can do then please do!! All of us together can ask for the ecosystem to grow in ways that are good and fun for us all!!
Trying to help make gaming better for us all!
The Steam Deck was a real home run for them. I guess we will see for sure when the new lineup but it sure seems like they’ve could become a competitive hardware company and I’d love to see what else is up their sleeve.
My long time wish has been for a truly open Linux based iPhone competitor. Maybe too far outside their wheelhouse still but can you imagine a Steam Phone?
Valve allows redistribution of the Steam client. Other than resources, there is little that would stop companies like Jolla to put the Steam client on their phones.
