Huawei is continuing its work on HarmonyOS Next, the operating system at the core of its latest smartphones, such as the Mate 60 series. The potential of this OS is so high, it’s already considered as a significant threat to iOS and Android. However, HarmonyOS has a serious disadvantage compared to its competitors. It lacks as extensive application support, partly due to its relatively young age and the increasing pressure from the United States.

To overcome these challenges, the company is taking steps that bring more apps to its store. For example, we recently mentioned the significance of the McDonald’s app coming to AppGallery. However, aware that this is not enough, Huawei shook hands with MiHoYo to develop games exclusively for HarmonyOS. Here are the details…

MiHoYo Announces Native HarmonyOS App Development, Bringing Popular Games to Huawei Devices

Huawei is making efforts to boost the popularity of HarmonyOS by entering into a collaboration agreement with the Chinese game developer MiHoYo. According to the deal, MiHoYo, known for developing popular games such as Genshin Impact, will be designing exclusive games specifically for the HarmonyOS operating system. Console manufacturers, like Sony, have been using this strategy for a while. They boost their sales by having games that you can only play on their console, like Spider-Man.

The agreement will not only cover exclusive games but also include existing titles. For example, Genshin Impact will gain native HarmonyOS support and operate with much higher performance than before. Additionally, with cross-platform support, it will be possible to play simultaneously with Android and iOS users. These developments are expected to benefit both Huawei and MiHoYo, attracting more app developers to HarmonyOS.

It is still unclear when the new MiHoYo&Huawei games will be released. However, the partnership is a positive sign for the future of HarmonyOS gaming.
