My gut reaction was this seems insane but seeing what valve did for linux with proton this would be really cool if they pulled it off and allowed anyone to make use of the compatibility layer
Valve is actively exploring the use of ARM processors in future SteamOS gaming devices.
SteamOS developer Pierre-Loup Griffais told PC Gamer that Valve is “definitely” investigating ARM as a long-term option because ARM chips are becoming more powerful while using less power.
A big part of that work is FEX, a compatibility layer that lets games made for x86 processors run on ARM hardware. The goal is to let existing PC games work on ARM devices without developers needing to create separate versions.
Valve also made it clear that this is early research, not a product announcement. Valve says it simply wants to be ready if ARM becomes a better option for gaming in the future.
