The latest Android 15 Developer Preview 2 brings exciting news for mobile gaming enthusiasts. Developers have discovered a hidden toggle within the Developer Options that removes the default 60fps frame rate limit for games. This means, if your phone’s hardware is powerful enough, games could potentially reach their peak performance and deliver smoother, more responsive gameplay.
Previously, Android generally restricted games to 60fps, with developers needing to enable higher frame rates for specific devices. This new universal toggle suggests that Google might be exploring ways to unlock the potential for higher frame rates across the board.
While currently located in the Developer Options (accessible by tapping repeatedly on the Build Number in your phone’s software settings), this feature could also benefit experienced users. This accessibility opens the door for power users to potentially leverage these higher frame rates.
For mobile gamers, this discovery unlocks exciting possibilities. Unrestrained by the need for root access or modded applications, users might be able to easily enable 90fps or even higher frame rates through this simple toggle. However, it’s important to note that the final functionality and potential inclusion in the public release of Android 15 remain to be seen.
If successfully implemented, this feature could significantly enhance the mobile gaming experience on Android devices, offering players smoother visuals and potentially improved responsiveness in fast-paced games.
