TL;DR The Windows emulator GameHub is now available on the Google Play Store.
It plays Windows games via emulation, cloud gaming, or local game streaming.
GameHub can also connect to a Steam account for seamless downloads.
The Windows emulation scene on Android has been making rapid progress in the past few years, but it wasn’t until recently that it truly became approachable. GameHub, a new app from the controller company GameSir, streamlines the Windows emulation experience in a way that anyone can understand, and it’s now available on the Google Play Store starting today.
GameHub, which launched earlier this year as GameFusion, is an all-in-one application that allows you to play PC games on your Android device. It can connect to Xbox Cloud Gaming directly from the app, launch local streaming apps like Steam Link, or, most importantly, play Windows games via emulation.
It isn’t the first Windows emulator on Android, as other projects like Winlator have steadily improved over the past few years. However, it’s the first one that feels like it can play games out of the box, without any major setup required. Previously, the most complicated step was downloading the APK from GameSir’s not-so-legit-looking website, but that’s now a thing of the past.
GameHub is a one-stop-shop for playing Windows games on your Android device.
There are a few ways to load games onto GameHub, and none of them require piracy. For DRM-free games, you can simply drag and drop the game files onto your device. This is how I played the GOG version of Silksong on my phone the weekend the game came out.
