Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro first to get it

The big news during Qualcomm's annual Snapdragon technology summit was mobile gaming and its Elite Gaming set of desktop-level features, including an updatable GPU drivers, and while there was only a handful of supported devices, Xiaomi is now hopping on that train with its Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro smartphones.

As we already wrote earlier, updatable GPU drivers are limited to Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 765 SoCs, and Xiaomi is bringing it to three of its Snapdragon 865-powered smartphones, the Xiaomi Mi 10 5G, Mi 10 Pro 5G and the Redmi K30 Pro.

Unfortunately, it appears that the update is currently only available on Xiaomi's Chinese app store but we guess it is just a matter of time before it goes global. The app is called GPU Driver Updater and we are not sure if it will come to Google Play Store, but we don't see any reason why it won't.

Such updates allow Qualcomm and smartphone makers to optimize performance for certain new games, and the one for Xiaomi smartphones has some for popular mobile games like PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, Honkai Impact 3rd, as well as general updates for OpenGL ES and Vulkan API.

XDA-developers.com spotted the update and unpacked the APK file showing all new libraries for the Snapdragon 865 SoC.
