    Can’t the frame run the game itself? I thought it’s a full fledged computer

      They say it’s “streaming first” but supports titels directly on it, too. Either way, I am hyped

      It’s ARM-based, so x86 code will not run natively on it. But Steam has something similar to Proton for ARM.

      Kinda. ARM isn’t great for high-power user cases, and the hardware in the frame isn’t top-end for the architecture.

      The frame can run less intensive games, but will struggle with heavier games. I assume Skyrim VR will be in the latter category, especially with mods.
