  • Nintendo Switch emulator Citron just got a big update to V0.6.
  • It has significant enhancements to performance, plus basic multiplayer support.
  • Some users have reported crashing and bugs, so beware before overwriting previous installations.

Yuzu might be dead, but the Citron fork of the popular Nintendo Switch emulator is alive and kicking. Less than one month after a major update improved stability and compatibility, V0.6 sets its sights on a new frontier: multiplayer.

The latest update sets the foundation for multiplayer support on Android for the first time, although the feature is still in development. Developer Zephyron claims performance has been excellent in beta testing, which is a promising start. Multiplayer was first added to the PC version of Yuzu in 2022, but it’s unclear whether this is a similar implementation.
