GameNative 0.8.0 Pre-Release Update Introduces Major Improvements
GameNative, the open-source Android app that allows users to run and manage PC games on their devices, has just received a significant update. The developers have released GameNative 0.8.0 as a pre-release build, bringing with it a major UI overhaul and support for Amazon Games.
The update, announced on Reddit, also includes improvements to Steam, GOG, and Epic integrations. This experimental build is now available as an APK on the project’s GitHub page, allowing users to test out the new features.
One of the standout features of this update is the addition of Amazon Games support, expanding the number of PC libraries accessible through the launcher. Users can now browse, download, and launch games from various storefronts directly from their Android devices.
The focus of this release is on usability, with a completely overhauled interface that allows for controller navigation. This is especially beneficial for users of Android handheld devices, where touch input may not always be the most convenient way to interact with the launcher.
Other notable changes include an offline mode for Steam games, reworked touch controls with dynamic on-screen joysticks, and new portrait controller support for devices like the 8BitDo FlipPad. Additionally, improvements have been made to GOG and Epic integrations, along with a range of bug fixes.
While GameNative 0.8.0 is still a pre-release build, users interested in trying out the new features can download the APK from the project’s GitHub release page. Stay tuned for further updates and enhancements from the GameNative team.
