Existem alternativas para quem deseja jogar títulos adquiridos para PC no iPhone, mas poucas focam na execução local desses games.

Para quem quer rodar localmente a própria biblioteca da Steam, da GOG ou da Epic Games Store, o Playport é um aplicativo de código aberto que traduz e renderiza jogos x86 no iPhone sem a necessidade de jailbreak.

O software utiliza o Wine, o tradutor de x86 para ARM FEX e o DXMT, que converte o Direct3D 10 e 11 para o Metal, tendo sido testado com 47 jogos até o momento — dos quais 34 são jogáveis e 13 não rodam ou são injogáveis. A lista completa pode ser conferida no site oficial do projeto.

Os desenvolvedores destacaram a compatibilidade com Portal 2 (capaz de rodar em até 60 quadros por segundo), The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt (com cerca de 36qps) e Hollow Knight (até 120qps). Os testes foram realizados em um iPhone com o chip A19 Pro.

O aplicativo é instalado por meio de um IPA via sideloading, com auxílio da técnica JIT para a tradução em tempo real, e exige que o Modo Desenvolvedor esteja ativado.

O Playport está disponível gratuitamente e pode ser baixado pelo GitHub.
