TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a "Frame Verified" status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

There is already a Linux native version of Half-Life Alyx: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/546560?updates=true&emclan=103582791465746636&emgid=3758762298552654077

This would be either ARM native or some other optimization for Steam Frame.
