GameNative 0.7.1 Adds Epic Store Support

If you’ve been tapping “Free This Week” on the Epic store and wondering how to squeeze those titles into your pocket‑sized PC, GameNative just handed you the key.

Version 0.7.1 adds full Epic library integration alongside its existing Steam (and GoG) support, turning any Android handheld into a mini‑gaming rig. After updating, you log into Epic via a browser, paste an auth token, and—voilà—your entire catalog appears in the same launcher you already know.

What’s new besides the Epic hookup?

  • A performance wrapper that gives PowerVR and Mali chips a little extra juice.
  • An “8 Elite Turnip” driver bundle for Snapdragon 8 Elite testers (downloadable from a dropdown, no side‑loading required).
  • Dual‑screen handling and smoother game exits, plus the first taste of Steam Input integration and save‑sync tweaks.

The setup is still the same: install the APK from GitHub, link your accounts, sync libraries, then experiment with what actually runs on your device. Multiplayer on Epic isn’t live yet, and compatibility remains hit‑or‑miss, but if you’ve been hoarding free games for years, this update finally gives you a handheld excuse to play them.
