- Citron, the last actively developed Switch emulator on Android, just got a big update.
- It’s focused on stability and compatibility, including specific fixes for Samsung devices.
- Early testing indicates improved performance, even without tinkering with settings.
Switch emulation in 2025 is barely limping along, but the last bastion of hope just got a significant upgrade. Citron V0.5 is a new, experimental build with many improvements in stability and compatibility.
The update includes several fixes for Vulkan rendering, as well as some specific workarounds for Samsung drivers. The UI has also been updated, with improved performance monitoring. It’s still very clearly a Yuzu fork, but it’s the most advanced fork there is.
