Half-Life: Alyx runs natively on Steam Frame’s ARM hardware, free with the headset
TL;DR
Valve ported Half-Life: Alyx to ARM64 to run natively on the Steam Frame’s Snapdragon Gen 3 chip, and the game is included for free with the $1,059 headset. The port uses foveated rendering and eye tracking to deliver a full PC VR experience on a standalone device, with mods and fan-created levels supported, though it trades some graphical fidelity for portability.
