Valve recently announced that it will officially support Android games on the Steam platform.This strategic move is temporarily only available to VR game developers, allowing them to port their Android games to the world's largest PC game distribution platform.The plan represents a significant expansion of the Steam ecosystem.

According to published information, this update is mainly aimed at VR content creators and can simplify the porting process of games originally developed for Android devices.Jeremy Serran, an engineer at Valve, said that the change is designed to make players "no need to think about" which store platform the game comes from.Users only need to access the game library through Steam, directly and click the launch button to run.

Through the Proton compatibility layer, Steam Frame will be able to directly run the same APK files as Android systems, allowing Arm architecture code to run natively on Arm processors without translation.Valve also stated that it will release relevant development tools for developers.

It is expected that this integration may open a new channel for future development - non-VR mobile games are also expected to be launched on the Steam platform in the future, which will significantly expand the scope of content possibilities on the platform.
