Microsoft’s new emulator could bring more games to Windows on Arm


Could we see Starfield running well on Arm?

Microsoft is testing a big Windows on Arm update to let more x64 software and games run under Prism emulation on Copilot Plus PC with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite or X Plus processors. While many apps, including Photoshop, Hulu, and Chrome, already have native ARM64 versions for Windows, others, like Blender, require emulation, and some still won’t work at all. According to Microsoft, the new emulator is already enabled “in limited use” on retail PCs, allowing Premiere Pro 25 to run on Arm — after it was initially blocked — while Adobe works on a native version.
