Cult of the Lamb is playable, best on Android: EmuReady rates Eden 0.2.0-rc1/rc2 Perfect at 60fps on a Galaxy S26 Ultra and an AYN Thor Pro, and Kenji-NX 2.0.3 is reported at 100fps on a Galaxy S25 Ultra, though a Mali-GPU Retroid Pocket 4 Pro has graphics problems. On iPhone, MeloNX 2.1 has a 720p/60fps video and a report of about 60fps on an iPhone 16 Pro Max; on Mac, a Ryubing Canary only boots on an M1, while as of November 1, 2026, nxnative (a native port tool, not an emulator; needs update 1.5.28) officially runs it at 60fps on Mac like the Switch, with iPhone untested. No public PC test with results has been found yet. A Switch 2 Edition launched in late October 2026; emulators only run the Switch 1 part.
Settings & known issues
- On Eden, the game won't boot with the Pilgrim DLC installed; other DLC is fine (EmuReady AYN Thor Pro report).
- Ryubing on Mac crashes at launch after 1.3.227; turning off Hypervisor fixes it (issue #224).
