Xiaomi might soon allow Windows PC games to run on its lineup of Android tablets, according to a recent teaser shared by the company on social media.
It is said to be testing a new system called WinPlay which brings support for Windows games to Xiaomi tablets. While still under development, Xiaomi says that its WinPlay Engine will result in only a marginal GPU performance loss when playing.
It is also claimed to support Steam and its large repository of PC games too. The company showcased its WinPlay Engine in a post on Weibo, the Chinese social media platform.
Xiaomi claims it results in a loss of only 2.9 percent in terms of GPU performance when playing games. Since it is under development, Xiaomi is recruiting volunteer testers in China to use its engine.
Currently, this program is limited to Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro owners. The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
