I Tried Steam on ROCKNIX So You Don't Have To (Yet)

👉Steam on ROCKNIX is here! You can now install Steam directly on a bunch of Snapdragon Android handhelds and run your library through Proton, Steam Deck style. But is it actually usable today, or is it a cool tech demo you should wait on? I tested it on my Odin 2 Portal aaaaaand GameNative is still my pick for right now… but what's happening on ROCKNIX is moving fast, and it's probably the long-term future of Steam games on Snapdragon handhelds. Huge shoutout to Andrew at Retro Handhelds. His excellent step-by-step written guide is the backbone of this video.
