the possibility of carrying Windows to ARM devices has brought an immense range of possibilities for the most fans of complex and convoluted installations, but in a turn of events, a group of hackers wanted to go even further, and have managed to install Windows 11 on the OnePlus 6T and Xiaomi My 8. But if this were not enough, we must also include games in the equation.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on Android
The community around Windows 10 for ARM has been working hard to bring the operating system to all types of devices, and considering the possibilities of having a desktop system on a mobile phone, it is expected that the results will be more than amazing.
And as expected, in a process of natural evolution, hackers have also brought the new version of Microsoft's operating system, Windows 11, to mobile phones. The work is the work of the group Renegade Project, and his masterpiece consists of Install Windows 11 on a OnePlus 6T and put games on it. In the videos that you will be able to see below, you will be able to see how games like GTA IV, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Quake III Arena o Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 they run smoothly.
In the case of Call of Duty, the performance is acceptable, but you can see jerks that affect aiming. According to the group, it seems that the GPU driver is not final, and there are other things that don't work like WiFi, sound (you have to use Bluetooth output), data connection, and most of the sensors. On the other hand, the touch screen, USB, Bluetooth and CPU work.
The group has posted a spreadsheet in google drive where it is writing down all the games that they test, including the performance and if they work completely or not.
Necessary?
The task of installing Windows 11 following a list of endless steps and commands may not be particularly attractive to you, much less when the final interface is desktop and not suitable for mobile, but the whole process has its magic. In the end, these challenges serve to demonstrate how far the interest of some users is capable of reaching, and on some occasions they serve to visualize new concepts and ideas for the future.
Taking into account that there is a mobile version of Call of Duty, it is a bit strange to have to bundle all this to play the PC version, however, being able to play the Modern Warfare 2 campaign on mobile is priceless.
