The Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator has quickly become one of the most exciting emulators ever made, as the development team has continuously improved it since its public launch at a surprising speed, reaching another important milestone earlier this week when the emulator was launched on the Google Play Store for Android devices.
While the Android version of the emulator is not yet capable of running every Nintendo Switch game with perfect performance, it is definitely capable of running the latest games more than decently. The mobile version of the emulator can already run Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at around 20 frames per second on a ROG Phone 6 Pro with default settings, which is quite impressive, considering the emulator has just been released.

On a related note, those enjoying Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on PC with the main version of the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator can now have a much better experience at ultrawide resolutions thanks to two new mods that were released online this week. The first mod, the Ultrawide UI fix, attempts to fix the interface alignment at ultrawide resolutions such as 3440 x 1440 and 5140 x 1440 resolutions, while the Any Aspect Ratio custom utility allows users to create a mod that patches the game to any aspect ratio possible. This mod is still in early development, so there are plenty of issues, but it's still impressive how something like this is already possible on PC with a game released less than a month ago on another platform.
The Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator can be downloaded from its official website. The Android version is now available on the Google Play Store.
