Yes, but Sunbreak brings clear problems, and PC is the most stable. Ryubing lists it as In-game (graphics, speed and crash issues). PC users report about 25-30fps on Eden with graphics bugs, and after installing the Sunbreak update NPCs and the player character flicker regardless of OpenGL or Vulkan; the only fix so far is playing the base game without it (October 2026). On Mac, Ryubing on an M1 MacBook Pro holds 60fps in most areas at 4K with a 60fps mod (Sunbreak version), and nxnative (a native port tool, not an emulator; needs update 16.0.2) was tested at a locked 60fps on an 8GB M1 MacBook Air. Android mostly gets 15-30fps on Eden with black or flickering faces; MeloNX on iPhone has a crash-on-launch report, while as of November 1, 2026, nxnative officially runs it at 60fps on iPhone (30 on Switch; needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer).
Settings & known issues
- If characters flicker on Eden after installing Sunbreak, the only fix so far is removing the update (user report).
- Ryubing local play: after Sunbreak 3.9.1, only the LDN 3.0.0 build works (official docs).
- Ryubing's official list marks online as not working and local wireless (LDN) as working.
- nxnative needs update 16.0.2 (Sunbreak included) and raises the frame rate to 60fps; the Kamura Village drop to 36-54fps on iPhone is fixed.
