Yes, with the best results on Android: EmuReady has Perfect reports at an average 60fps for Eden (0.1.0, 0.2.0-rc2) on devices like the RedMagic 11 Pro and AYANEO KONKR Pocket FIT, plus 60fps reports for Citron NEO and Kenji-NX 2.0.5, though a Kenji-NX 2.1.0 preview build fails to boot. PC only has older reports: Eden 0.0.3 on a ROG Ally reached the menus, and a Ryubing Canary gets in-game on an RK3588 ARM board; an Eden issue describes a black-screen freeze when leaving a scene (0.0.4-rc3 to 0.2.1; one user says a nightly fixed it, unconfirmed). As of November 1, 2026, nxnative (a native port tool, not an emulator) officially runs it at 60fps on Mac and also on iPhone (needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer). The Switch 2 Edition shares the Title ID 0100A00019DE0000 with the Switch 1 version, and emulators only run the Switch 1 part.
Settings & known issues
- Eden black-screens and freezes after leaving a scene (issue #229, 0.0.4-rc3 to 0.2.1); one user says a nightly fixed it, unconfirmed.
- On Android, use Kenji-NX 2.0.5; the 2.1.0 preview has a failure-to-boot report.
- The two long lines through Melinoë while charging the staff's Omega attack are the game's own aim lines, not a rendering bug (nxnative docs).
