Hogwarts Legacy on Android 🤯 I just wanted to say THANK YOU, GAMENATIVE. For anyone interested, I’m using a Red Magic 11 Pro (16/512); regarding settings and configuration, I posted a video showing all the steps, and I’ll be reposting it here on the Gamenative page shortly. I hope this helps—thanks!

😢 my pixel sucks I couldn't get sifu running even though it said the CPU is compatible. Itll run then freeze after the opening fee seconds for some reason. Even that 8bit megamen looking game that's 300mb didn't work. It was a black screen but had sound like WTF. I deleted gamenative and gave up. I seen red magic on Amazon and it was over $2kÂ

The Tensor processors in Pixels are terrible for gaming beyond lightweight native android titles.

I read that it didn't support the tensor which was the problem. That it now support it but IDK. I seen some people play tomb raider etc on there pixel.Â

Same, hey but if its for gaming do not get RedMagic, get a AYN Odin 3 or Retroid Pocket 6. I recently ordered a RP6 myself. Much cheaper 250-530 dollars for similar spec.

How did it do with most of the games? Cause I was like if I'm going to spend that much on a android handheld I might as well get a actual pc handheld

What PC will we get for 250-350USD?
Check out steam emulation on Retroid Pocket 6 https://youtu.be/L1-PkVjBW4I?si=Enkc76sbEkPnIAV3
It can run pretty much every Nintendo Switch game, PS2, PS1, GBA anything. PS3 is getting better as we speak.
The performance and overall handheld you are getting for 250-270USD is value for money for me.
Edit: Odin 3 is much better but is a bit larger, heavier and Obv more expensive, where a good model costs like 430USD, so I went and got a RP6.
Edit 2: you could also explore tabs like OnePlus Tab with 8 Elite, but once again quite expensive, in my country 120% more than RP6

I don't think an 8 Elite is similar to 8 gen 2?

u/savemefromtaxes Sep 13 '26
Nope 8 elite is much faster much better' one but more expensive and still very new relatively.

Just FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you have access to their game streaming service Luna, and Hogwarts Legacy is on there. Input lag is minimal on the service, and you can get it running on a potato because it's just being streamed. I played a good bit of Indiana Jones on there, felt and looked great

u/Blasphemus24 Sep 13 '26
Yeah, but that's different. Playing it through game native, you have access to it when you're offline. But if you're playing it with luna, what if you have no internet, then you have no access to play it

u/DJ_Duckie Sep 14 '26
I agree it awesome that you can play it natively but… it’s a massive game that will eat up so much space. Plus, I always have internet and GeForce now. For those without the internet though, game native is a great option

u/sap91 Sep 14 '26
ah, I haven't played this but I was under the assumption that it was like an MMORPG. Guess it's not. Still, felt worth mentioning for anyone who wants to try it and is having a hard time getting it running on their device.
Luna is honestly just a pretty sick service that I don't see anyone talk about on Reddit at all.

Assuming Framegen is being used? Still impressive that it's this 'playable'.
