The game recognized the controller automatically and gameplay is smooth without any issues. The game is even running at over 120 FPS on Android.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible to see there is some headroom for emulation, with the GPU and CPU around 50%, which indicates that it might be possible to run the game on more modest devices as well.<\/p>\n<p>Silksong is being sold on Steam for only R$ 60.
