Vulkan support is coming to Android apps on Windows 11
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.
