New Feature Release - Vulkan (Patreon)

You can download this release through the installer Early Access release channel.  

A very good day to all you yuz-ers out there. The curtains are up and the most awaited feature of yuzu is finally here! The Vulkan renderer for yuzu is now available for our Patreon users on Early Access (starting with Release 56).

For the past year, the most awaited and requested feature for yuzu has been the Vulkan Renderer. Many users, especially those with AMD GPUs, have been patiently waiting for this day...

Continue reading about the Vulkan release on our website! 

The Vulkan renderer for yuzu is still experimental and doesn’t yet have all the features implemented. In addition to that, the Vulkan renderer currently does not support shader caches and the infamous Resolution rescaler is not yet integrated into the Vulkan renderer. While some games like Zelda: Link’s Awakening work really well on Vulkan, many games like ARMS, Crash Team Racing, and Luigi’s Mansion 3 crash on it.

As always, we’re so thankful to our supporters. Please enjoy testing out Vulkan on your own games, and remember to reach out to us with any feedback/bugs you experience on our Discord’s exclusive Patreon channels!

 Until next time, keep playing on yuzu!
