Roblox is downloaded separately on the device. Roblox binaries, account data, SteamVR files and the Frame's graphics drivers are not included in the package.

About this fork
The steam-frame branch is the Steam Frame edition of the vr branch of
CoderDayton/nightcap, itself a fork of
komaruworld/mocktail. It adds the native
ARM64 VR bridge and Frame rendering, input, audio and Steam integration changes.
The original Nightcap artwork is retained. Internal executable and configuration
names keep mocktail for compatibility with the upstream source.
