TL;DR

  • Viral videos show the Pixel 10 Pro XL completely glitching out while running the latest version of Genshin Impact.

  • The problems could be related to the Pixel 10 shipping with a PowerVR GPU, for which the game’s makers dropped support earlier this year.

  • A future driver update might fix performance issues, but if game developers keep dropping support for PowerVR GPUs, Google may need to rethink its strategy.

  • Google says they have worked with miHoYo over the past year to ensure the game runs smoothly on the Pixel 10 series.




Updated: October 7, 2025 (12 AM ET): A Google spokesperson provided the following statement to Android Authority, clarifying that Genshin Impact will continue running on the Pixel 10 series.
