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

    There are android apps combining fex/box64 with proton in order to run full Windows games now. Android may actually be a semi-viable gaming platform in the near future.

    GameNative is one that works as a full steam client but there are a few others that give you more control like Winlator (both on GitHub)

    You can actually play games pretty decently on them, especially indies like hollow knight and Celeste.

      Yes, still not android games, are they?

      We have had decent android phones for like 10 years, at least, yet the best you can on them is emulating other platforms.
