Back in 2007, Crysis had been launched to critical acclaim across the globe. Since its release, the game had been used as a benchmarking tool for PCs for years, and even had a running gag of “But can it run Crysis?” So who would’ve thought that the game that brought most gaming rigs to their knees back in the day can now be run on a OnePlus 6T smartphone.
This bizzare feat was spotted on a YouTube video, on a channel called edi194. The video showcased the smartphone that was launched back in 2018 running Crysis, which was infamous for being graphically demanding. So, this is extremely impressive to say the least. While the game is playable on the smartphone through Windows 11, it isn’t exactly the best experience with the visual fidelity being turned down and the game also facing various frame drops.
This was not the only game the YouTuber managed to run on the OnePlus 6T. Another video on the channel also showcased the handset running Hitman 4: Blood Money as well. The project has also had the person test other PC games as well, thanks to Windows 11 supporting ARM processors. Although, certain titles like Skyrim could not be run on the mobile device.
Notably, this offers us a look at the near future since handheld devices have become increasingly more powerful. Soon, we might see such devices being capable enough of running PC titles. However, this is still a far off dream at the moment, considering most modern AAA titles are quite graphically intensive. But, it does showcase just how capable modern smartphones have become.
