TL;DR
- The GameNative app for running PC games on Android has received a hefty update.
- GameNative v0.9.0 now offers initial support for the Pixel 10’s GPU as well as Dex functionality.
- Other notable additions include download and storage manager pages, Steam Workshop support, and a battery temperature metric.
Winlator and GameHub are two of the more popular ways to locally run PC games on your Android device. However, GameNative has also emerged as one of the more impressive efforts in recent months. We’ve seen a few major updates recently, but the latest version might be the biggest one yet.
GameNative version 0.9.0 is now available to download as a pre-release version, and it brings a laundry list of changes and additions. Perhaps the most notable addition is initial support for the Pixel 10‘s PowerVR GPU. That’s a big deal, as most PC game emulators on Android primarily support the Adreno GPU in Snapdragon processors. These apps also have some support for Arm’s Mali graphics, but that’s usually where support ends.
