Cubism, the critically acclaimed and deceptively simple XR puzzle game from Belgian developer Thomas Van Bouwel (Laser Dance), is coming to Steam Frame. Announced today, the Steam version will receive a free update to support the launch of Valve’s upcoming VR headset with passthrough gameplay. It's also Steam Frame Verified!

This new update will optimize Cubism for Steam Frame by adding an Android version as the default choice when playing in standalone mode. This notably introduces monochrome passthrough, becoming one of the first Steam Frame games to support passthrough gameplay. Until now, Cubism’s passthrough support had been exclusive to other mobile headsets like the Meta Quest, Samsung Galaxy XR, and Pico.

Cubism will receive an update on Steam to support the launch of Steam Frame, optimising the game for Valve’s new headset by adding an Android version as the default when playing standalone.

Cubism launched on both SteamVR and Quest in 2020, and received several updates like mixed reality and hand tracking support on Quest, which have noticeably been missing from the PC edition. As SteamOS introduces a mobile ecosystem, this update brings the standalone Steam Frame version of Cubism a bit closer to the version on other mobile XR hardware.
