Valve has recently disclosed compatibility tools Lepton and FEX in preparation for the launch of Steam Frame, a new VR headset. These tools aim to ensure the headset's compatibility with both PC and Android games. Despite the headset utilizing an Arm-based processor, Lepton and FEX are designed to support a wide range of games. Lepton, a container-based Waydroid system, will run Android apps on a full Linux distribution.
FEX, an emulator, will translate API calls and recompile code to make x86 applications compatible with the Arm64 instruction set architecture. Together, these tools will complement Valve's Proton compatibility layer, which has successfully enabled Windows games to run on Linux distributions. With these tools now publicly available, developers can look forward to Steam Frame delivering a robust gaming experience across a variety of platforms.
