The Pixel 11 is actively incapable of playing many games
The Pixel 11 is actively incapable of playing many games

People must be aware of this. Because Google cheaped out again by using a PowerVR GPU, the phone literally cannot play certain games from the developer Hoyoverse (IE Genshin Impact ). The gpu is actively not supported by the developer and if you try to play some of their titles you will face a pure pink screen. It is also incapable of playing games like Fortnite, Wuthering Waves, NTE and others except at low settings while suffering constant lags and stutters. These are just the games I've seen tested so far. I encourage people to test others if they have access to the device. If you play games on your phone or have a desire to do so, I encourage you to avoid the Pixel 11. It is not simply worse at games compared to competitors as it was with the 7, 8 or 9, it is that the Pixel 11 is actively incapable of playing many titles on the device in a reasonable way or at all. Here are some videos of the tests I have found of the device, there are also others on X.
