PC Emulation on Android Reaches Mainstream Viability
PC emulation is gaining popularity within the Android ecosystem, with many Android gamers now finding it to be a viable option. A recent video showcased a YouTuber running the full PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 on a high-end Android smartphone, demonstrating the potential of PC emulation on Android devices.
ETA Prime, a popular tech YouTuber, has released another video highlighting the capabilities of PC emulation on Android. The video showcases various Android devices running a range of PC games, including AAA titles like GTA V, Left 4 Dead 2, The Witcher 3, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, and Cyberpunk 2077.
For PC emulation, ETA Prime utilized GameHub and Game Native. While GameHub is available on the Google Play Store, Game Native is an open-source app that can be downloaded from the Game Native website or GitHub page. GameHub leverages Valve’s Proton compatibility layer, using a combination of Proton and FEX to translate x86 and Windows code into code that Android phones with ARM SoCs can execute.
Apps like GameHub have made it easier than ever to play PC games on Android devices. GameHub can be easily downloaded from the Google Play Store and requires minimal setup, providing all the necessary emulators to run PC games on Android. Additionally, GameHub offers built-in Steam integration, simplifying the process of installing Steam games on Android devices.
