Vulkan API support should help systems get the most out of their GPU when running Android apps.

tl;dr from the linked article:

Microsoft just released an update for Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11 in preview.

The update adds preview support for Vulkan API, which is a cross-platform graphics API that works on Windows and Linux.

The standard set of security updates and stability improvements also ship with the update.

I hope this will also indirectly improve gaming on Linux.

I play warzone with my friends and they all own a Playstation 4 or 5.

So I ended up using the android playstation app in Windows 11 so we can all share VoIP all the time when playing.

First I tried the WSA. But it was impacting games performance. Stuttering every 30 seconds. Other thing I didn't like from WSA is that it installs Hyper-V or something like that (that causes VMWare to not like AMD-V setting).

Then I tried bluestack limiting the app to just 1 core and this one doesn't seem to impact game performance. So I'm staying with bluestack.

I have an 5800X3D CPU. And game is generally GPU bottlenecked for me.
