Added SteamVR on Meta Quest 3 and 3S from the standard APK. Quest headsets are detected automatically and get their own driver defaults. Immersive SteamVR runs through a native OpenXR activity with headset tracking, Touch controllers and haptics, and SteamVR's dashboard and Steam library work in VR.

I'm still bitter that most budget phones run Mali instead of Adreno - which means I literally can't afford to run this app at the moment

Runs new Vegas on a pixel. Haven't really gave it a solid testing but turning down all the settings besides view/lod it seems to run decent enough so far. Few newer friendslop games i tested don't even run past the main menu so I'm guessing most xbox360/ps3 era games will probably work.

Try this one https://gamenative.app/

I think it works with Mali, somehow this droiddeck came later but managed to get more press

That's precisely what I currently use! Although a more integrated tool would be nice, too.

Cool. How is this different than GameNative? They both seem pretty popular.

This is full SteamOS

For those that are wondering, it appears to be using a type of chroot which Termux also uses, called PRoot. So it's not running in a VM, but proots apparently have their own performance issues. But it is full SteamOS, effectively.
