Recently, the company has shared a post on Weibo which exhibits that the company is allowing 20,000 beta testers to experience JOYUI ahead of its final roll-out which will take place in the month of December. 

In order to register for the beta program of JOYUI, owners of Black Shark smartphones can either signup on Black Shark’s WeChat group or via the Black Shark community website.

Besides, the game space also supports a floating game assistant which can be used to change settings like the placement of keys for a compatible gamepad, haptic feedback strength and touch sensitivity on compatible devices which include the Black Shark 2 and its “Pro” variant. It also incorporates a dedicated app which shows the parameters selected by thousands of other Black Shark owners based on each game.
