Overview

• Viral clips depict the Pixel 10 Pro XL with texture flicker, control problems, and screen tearing after a recent Genshin Impact update.
• Genshin Impact’s v5.0 build ended official support for PowerVR graphics, while the Pixel 10 line uses a PowerVR DXT-48-1536 GPU.
• Independent tests, including prior reviews, did not consistently reproduce the issues, indicating they may depend on specific builds, regions, or settings.
• Reports suggest the Pixel 10 shipped with older GPU drivers that may hinder performance, with a newer Imagination driver available but not yet deployed by Google.
• Neither Google nor HoYoverse has announced a patch or explanation, leaving the exact cause and any timeline for a fix unresolved.
