TL;DR
- Google has started rolling out a new GPU driver for the Pixel 10 series with Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1.
- The update aligns with Imagination’s August driver release and brings Android 16 and Vulkan 1.4 support.
- While real-world performance gains remain unconfirmed, the update should reach stable builds in a future Pixel Drop
Again, indie games exist and can easily be run on most phones through Winlator/GameNative. The Nintendo switch is basically an 8 year old midrange phone processor and that still got games, plenty of steam titles will run fine on even a low/midrange android phone.
So you want games comparable to what came out in 2001 and 2005, but a 5 year old AAA is too old for you? What???
If you’re saying this because you’re switching to iPhone, I wouldn’t get my hopes up on the situation improving. It’s equally as bad on iOS. If you’re saying that because you’re getting a Linux phone or a non-smartphone, fair enough but those don’t have any games, let alone emulated ones.
Yes and for the hundredth time, they were never developed for android, so android gaming scene is still a complete money making shitshow.
Maybe after playing so much crap you have forgotten what a game should be. Those were good games even with very low hardware requirements, which means there is no excuse for hardware or software limitations here, there is just no interest (and there never was) in making decent games for android.
You are wrong, but not surprising to jump to such idiotic conclusions for an android fanboy who can’t even admit android games suck ass.
