Like usual, there’s a ton to dig through with the latest release, but there are a few things that I think are worth mentioning. There is currently a build for Quest headsets, and XR devices if you want to sideload those on. This was added in the V1.1 release, but it’s absolutely had more time to cook since then. Alongside that, notes for Nexus Mod support , and new wrappers for Mali and Exynos drivers are both huge updates in my opinion. This will absolutely bring more compatibility to devices we all thought wouldn’t quite get there with the old drivers.

As always though, we look forwards to seeing what the Gamenative crew is cooking up for the future. If you’re looking to keep an eye out on what they’re doing, be sure to check their Github, or drop by in their Discord as well. As the app just keeps getting better with every release.
