TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a "Frame Verified" status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

There is already a Linux native version of Half-Life Alyx: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/546560?updates=true&emclan=103582791465746636&emgid=3758762298552654077

This would be either ARM native or some other optimization for Steam Frame.

    Presumably ARM native plus some performance tweaks. But ARM native would be pretty big if it leads to allowing devs to release ARM versions of their own games. Logically we'd also want an ARM Steam Client public release as well.
