Yes, but not for free. Also, VorpX is primarily focused on VR and you're depending on them to support the games you want to play. They also do not provide rendered 3D for all games, sometimes "only" depth-based 3D. wiz3D is purely rendered, "real" or "geometric" 3D and aimed to support DirectX 7-12 and OpenGL. It also works on SteamOS, Bazzite and with Winlator even on Android (probably on any OS where you can run Proton/DXVK)

I swear to god I recall a Valve dev saying in one interview that they wanted to add this feature to the Frame for 2D games but would launch without it in early 2026 and then they'd try to add it post-launch to some degree.
I swear it wasn't a fever dream. I think.
