Here’s the Twitter thread discussing this

Basically, some different apps were linked to the official steamVR app. These apps are hidden, but the data miner was able to grab some assets from them that included some custom art for Waydroid, which is a Linux program that lets you run Android apps on Linux.

Additionally, I’ve seen comments saying that some valve devs have been making pull requests for the Waydroid github, but I don’t actually have a proper source for that.

    I hope so. I really want Valve to allow Android games on to their store and allow installation from it etc. I’d trust Valve way more than Google, thus I’d be way more inclined to buy Android games.

    It’s a good thing, even though I don’t think games on Android are great.

    Oh, I suddenly realized that maybe the Steam store will support and distribute Android games in a few years.

    That’s something only Valve can definitely do successfully.

      There are lots of high end android games that this would make available, and we could also benefit from apps like Netflix/etc.

        I can’t imagine wanting to play a mobile game on Steam Deck… but having access to other native apps sure sounds like a win. Didn’t consider that.
