Xiaomi's new WinPlay Engine: Play Windows games on your Android tablet!
Xiaomi has unveiled its innovative WinPlay Engine, enabling local Windows game play on Android tablets with minimal performance impact. Currently in beta, it's exclusive to the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro.
This impressive technology utilizes a three-layer virtualization system powered by Xiaomi's HyperCore kernel, allowing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-equipped Pad 6S Pro to run Windows games. Xiaomi claims a negligible 2.9% GPU performance loss.
Key Features:
- Near-Native Performance: Experience minimal performance reduction when playing PC games.
- Steam Support (Potentially): Access your existing Steam library, though full compatibility details are pending.
- Bluetooth Peripheral Support: Utilize keyboards, mice, and even Xbox controllers with haptic feedback.
- Local Multiplayer: Enjoy local multiplayer gaming with up to four players.
Setup:
While promising, the setup isn't completely seamless yet. Users need to purchase games from platforms like Steam or GOG, manually transfer game files to the tablet, and launch them via the AI Treasure Box app. Expect some manual configuration as it's still in beta.
Availability:
Currently, the WinPlay Engine is exclusive to the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro. Future device compatibility remains unannounced.
