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

run on most phones through Winlator/GameNative

Yes and for the hundredth time, they were never developed for android, so android gaming scene is still a complete money making shitshow.

So you want games comparable to what came out in 2001 and 2005, but a 5 year old AAA is too old for you?

Maybe after playing so much crap you have forgotten what a game should be. Those were good games even with very low hardware requirements, which means there is no excuse for hardware or software limitations here, there is just no interest (and there never was) in making decent games for android.

If you're saying this because you're switching to iPhone

You are wrong, but not surprising to jump to such idiotic conclusions for an android fanboy who can't even admit android games suck ass.

Did you actually read my comment? It's actually impressive to get those takeaways from that...

Anyway, if you want to twist my comments into something that makes yourself pointlessly mad I can't stop you. Your definition of an android game seems to be Google Play malware, so I don't think you'll ever get what you want.
