Your favorite Android apps, now on Steam Deck.
So on Friday I released my latest Steam Deck news video. In this video I talked about how Valve might be adding Android app support in Steam using Waydroid. The dataleak showed that Waydroid may soon be included alongside the SteamVR package. What could this mean for us Deck gamers? In the meantime, I figured now would be a good time to explore what Waydroid is capable of!
