The name Lepton appeared on Steam and SteamDB just a few weeks after Valve unveiled the Steam Frame headset, which will be able to run Android apps.  In our new interview with Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais, he mentioned the Frame uses “a similar compatibility layer as Proton, just targeted at Android.” [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/steam-lepton-header.jpg?quality=90&strip=all]

      No it’s not. This is for their ARM VR headset. They want 0 effort ports to SteamVR from the Meta Quest which runs Android.

      Why would you want to do that? What advantage?
