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

    That’s basically all I play on my phone, but it doesn’t qualify as “android gaming” IMO.

      If emulators and winlator do not count as android gaming, then emulation and wine/proton do not count as Linux gaming lmao.

        Yes, running emulated games on a PC doesn’t automagically make them PC games, “lmao”.

        Also wine is not an emulator, as its name clearly states, it makes things run natively so we should more generally talk about “PC gaming” there.

        If you still want to make a distinction between games born for Windows and games born for Linux, then yes, those are not “Linux gaming”.

        However it is totally off topic here since not only Linux has been improving a lot in the last decade, but also the games developed for Linux have been getting incredibly good (for free).

        So, yeah… I don’t know what you were trying to convey with your comment but now you are a little more educated about gaming than you, apparently, were before.

        You are welcome.
