An avid mobile gamer recently accomplished a remarkable feat by running The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on a smartphone. By emulating the Switch version of the game, they were able to achieve what they described as a seamless and 'fully playable' experience.

While emulating cutting-edge consoles typically lags behind the latest releases by several generations, the Nintendo Switch stands out due to its Nvidia Tegra X1 processor. This hardware choice has facilitated swift progress in Switch emulation, leveraging existing knowledge of Nvidia's mobile architecture. Despite Nintendo's efforts to combat piracy through emulator restrictions, the emulation community continues to advance steadily.

The Witcher 3 Performance on the OnePlus 11

A recent report from Reddit user ROGUE-Pamu_Love highlights the successful emulation of The Witcher 3 on a smartphone. Using the 16GB RAM variant of the OnePlus 11, a 2023 flagship device powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the fan achieved optimal performance. The OnePlus 11's chipset, offering superior processing power and energy efficiency compared to the Switch SoC, enabled smooth emulation of The Witcher 3 on Suyu and Sudachi Switch Android emulators.

While some may question the definition of 'playable,' citing screenshots showing the game at half its original resolution, the user reported a stable frame rate without crashes. Beyond emulation, the The Witcher series has seen seven mobile spin-offs since 2014. Despite some closures, CDPR remains committed to exploring new mobile gaming opportunities.
