VRChat Uploads Android Build to Steam for Standalone Steam Frame Play This Summer

Summary
VRChat developers have added an Android .apk build with OpenXR support to the game's Steam listing, signaling native-style standalone support for Valve's upcoming Steam Frame headset.
The move appears aimed at the ARM-based device's Snapdragon Gen 3 chip, where an Android build should run more efficiently than the existing Windows x86 version.
Steam Frame can already rely on Proton and FEX to run Windows software, but Valve's Lepton layer for Android-on-Linux could make the .apk the smoother path for untethered VRChat play.
VRChat already ships on Google Play for Android-based Meta Quest headsets, so the uploaded package suggests the game is being readied ahead of Steam Frame's planned summer launch.
