52 of the Steam Frame’s 130 Certified Games Run Through Valve’s Android Layer

Valve's registry reveals that Lepton is an Android app with aliases lepton-stable and fauxdroid, translating from android to linux. Steam pages for Pavlov Shack, Table Space, and Action Hero show no PC build, indicating they are VR-only. Existing PC VR pages are adding Android depots, with some titles certified on Lepton. The porting process for Quest builds to Steam Frame is easier than rebuilding for PC VR. Valve is favoring the Android path for porting software to the Frame, despite initial intentions to bring PC VR library to standalone hardware. The release date for these titles is still unknown.
