Imagine having your favorite PC games right in your pocket – that’s the promise of the upcoming Cassia emulator, a potential game-changer for portable gaming. If you’ve been following recent emulation news, you might have come across Winlator.
But hold on, the excitement doesn’t end there. The developers behind the once-promising Nintendo Switch emulator, Skyline, are now unveiling Cassia – an ambitious project aimed at letting you play Windows games on your Android device.
The Developer of Cassia Emulator
Recently, the official Discord server, formerly dedicated to Skyline, turned into a hub of information about their latest endeavor, Cassia. While the anticipated public release is slated for next year, there’s a lot to unpack about this innovative project.
In a departure from their approach with Skyline, the developers have decided that Cassia won’t initially be fully open-source. However, they’ve assured the community that if they halt development, they’ll make it open-source to prevent it from becoming a dead end.
Like any ambitious undertaking, monetization is on their minds. But worry not, Cassia isn’t set to be a premium app. While potential ideas include a paid advanced build reminiscent of Skyline Edge and cosmetic add-ons for financial support, the focus remains on providing an accessible experience.
How will Casia Work?
So, how will Cassia function? Picture Proton, the technology Steam Deck employs to run games. Though not without its quirks, Proton gets the job done. Speaking of Steam, one of the most thrilling prospects within the FAQ is the idea of running a Steam client through Cassia. The prospect of having access to your entire Steam library is undeniably exciting, even if it’s not right around the corner.
The FAQ sheds light on the technical challenges of ensuring good performance with Steam, but it also declares Steam as a ‘#1 Priority’.
For those who thrive on console-like experiences, the good news continues. Cassia intends to include hardware controller support, catering to a wider audience. For those who want to stay in the loop, dive deeper into the FAQ, or simply show some encouragement, the Cassia emulator Discord is the place to be.
