Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem has been successfully emulated on an Android phone, marking a significant step in mobile gaming capabilities. The test was conducted by YouTube channel ETA Prime using a RedMagic 11 Pro equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and the GameHub app to run the Steam PC version locally.
Performance and Setup
The game was set up with minimal effort, running at 720p on low settings with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 3.1) set to Performance mode. While frame generation was disabled due to stability concerns, indoor areas achieved 60–70 FPS, occasionally spiking to 100 FPS in confined spaces. Outdoor sections saw a drop to 40–45 FPS. The phone's "Rise" performance mode was activated to enhance CPU and GPU clocks, though thermal throttling occurred during sustained workloads, with the Snapdragon chip drawing over 20 watts.
Hardware Considerations
The test device featured 16 GB of RAM, highlighting the importance of memory in emulating modern PC games. Devices with 8 GB of RAM may struggle, and even 12 GB could be limiting. While this setup doesn't replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally, it demonstrates the rapid advancement of ARM technology. This progress suggests potential for future ARM-based gaming platforms and improved x86-to-ARM translation tools.
