- PlayStation 5 consoles that have been jailbroken can run Windows Steam games locally, with the titles played directly rather than delivered through a streaming service.
- Steam was launched on a PlayStation 5 without installing Linux, showing that the documented local setup did not require that additional operating-system layer.
