Citron Emulator Enhances Android and Windows on ARM Support

12 Nov 2025

Citron has released version 0.11.0 of its Nintendo Switch emulator, significantly enhancing performance on Android and Windows on ARM (WoA) platforms. This update targets improved emulation capabilities for devices featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite GPU.

Enhanced Performance Features

The latest release introduces native support and optimizations for WoA, focusing on next-generation shader features and an optimized rendering pipeline specifically designed for Snapdragon 8 Elite devices. This is expected to benefit users of last-generation flagship phones and Android handhelds, such as the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite and AYN Odin 3.

The update builds upon a previous major rewrite that implemented AMD FSR 2, suggesting a commitment to ongoing performance enhancements.

Additional Improvements

Citron has also introduced a range of updates targeting user experience and customization. These include per-game cheat configurations, improvements to the game library, and enhanced control over updates and notifications. These changes reflect a broad effort to enrich user interaction.

The full changelog, available from the developers, offers a more detailed overview of the improvements.
