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.
