Someone got Steam running natively on PS5, and it's rough
A Reddit user says a native Steam client runs on PS5. QR login, cached login and library list work. Controller input too. Still a primitive proof of concept.
A Reddit user says they’ve got Steam running natively on the PS5. The post title says “running natively,” and that’s the big claim. The post doesn’t name the firmware version or explain how the app gets onto the console, so take the details with salt.
The app is rough. The poster calls it “very primitive” and says the screens are full of placeholders. What works right now: QR login, a cached login cookie, controller input, and a library list. That’s the whole list. The post doesn’t mention downloads or launching games.
Why care? A working login and a library read are the boring plumbing you need before anything fun happens. It’s a proof of concept, and the poster says so. If auth and input hold up, the rest is UI work and a lot of grind.
Nothing in the post says whether the code is public. For now the thread is the only place to follow it. The poster is u/Vajoisstoopid.
