I wonder how Valve pulled this off. Iirc, they had to reduce performance for remote play a couple years bag by switching to software acceleration when their license for hardware acceleration couldn't be renewed

Probably using VP9 or AV1 codec now and didn’t want to pay for HEVC.

VP9 and AV1 are open codecs. and AV1 > H.265

I've heard of AV1 but never of VP9

A few web services such as YouTube use VP9. It was developed by google to have a royalty-free alternative to HEVC.
