High-end Android phones are now powerful enough to emulate the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 — YouTuber gets 2020's hottest PC game running at playable frame rates on Red Magic 11 Pro

Cyberpunk 2077 on Red Magic 11 Pro.

The idea of running Cyberpunk 2077 on a smartphone would have been ludicrous when the game first came out in 2020. Fast forward six years, and now that idea has become a reality. Handheld and SFF specialist ETA Prime on YouTube has made it happen with gaming phone running the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 at 30 to 40 FPS in emulation.

ETA Prime chose the Red Magic 11 Pro, one of the most powerful Android smartphones on the market, in combination with GameSir's GameHub platform to emulate the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 on Android. The Red Magic 11 Pro is unique in that it comes with an internal liquid cooler and active cooling fan to keep its Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset at high clock speeds under prolonged use.
