A new application, GameFusion, has emerged on the scene, promising to bring the thrill of PC gaming directly to mobile devices. Demonstrations of the app have showcased popular titles such as Grand Theft Auto V and Assassin’s Creed Rogue running smoothly on devices equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Notably, Realme executive Xu Qi Chase shared a video that appeared to show Assassin’s Creed Rogue operating at an impressive 60 frames per second on the latest flagship smartphone.
Unlike previous solutions that relied on streaming games from a PC, GameFusion is designed to allow users to play PC games locally on their Android devices. This innovation has sparked interest and curiosity within the gaming community, but it also raises questions regarding its legitimacy and the integrity of its development team.
One of the lead developers associated with the now-defunct Cassia app has clarified on Discord that they are not behind GameFusion. Instead, the app originates from the creators of the EggNS emulator, which has a controversial history. EggNS was a closed-source Nintendo Switch emulator that faced allegations of code theft from other emulators. Furthermore, it required users to register with an email address and initially mandated the use of specific GameSir controllers, later introducing a subscription model.
It’s legitimate, but you should still express caution
Despite the excitement surrounding GameFusion, the association with EggNS raises concerns. GameSir has acknowledged its connection to the EggNS team, suggesting that GameFusion is still under development and may be integrated into its existing GameHub application.
In an attempt to explore GameFusion further, I sideloaded the current GameHub app on the Realme GT7 Pro. However, I encountered a roadblock, as the app required a GameSir controller to proceed, leaving me unable to explore its features. This indicates that users might need to invest in specific hardware to fully utilize GameFusion upon its release.
While this isn’t the first instance of PC games being playable on Android devices—previous attempts like the Exagear app and the more user-friendly Winlator app have paved the way—GameFusion presents a unique opportunity. It appears to be a legitimate endeavor, though the development practices of GameSir and the EggNS team suggest that potential users may face hurdles in accessing the app.
As the gaming landscape evolves, the prospect of playing PC games on Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphones is undeniably exciting. While alternatives like the Steam Deck or ASUS ROG Ally exist, the idea of experiencing titles like GTA V on a smartphone adds a layer of intrigue to the mobile gaming experience.
