Huawei continues to work on HarmonyOS, the operating system that powers its latest smartphones, such as the Mate 60 line. The potential of this OS is so high that it is already considered a serious threat to iOS and Android. However, HarmonyOS has a significant disadvantage compared to its competitors. It does not have as much app support, partly due to its relatively young age and increasing pressure from the United States.
To overcome these challenges, the company is taking steps to attract more apps to its store. For example, the McDonald’s app recently appeared on the AppGallery. However, realizing that this is not enough, Huawei entered into an agreement with MiHoYo to develop games exclusively for HarmonyOS.
MiHoYo announced the development of native applications for HarmonyOS
Huawei is making efforts to increase the popularity of HarmonyOS by entering into a cooperation agreement with Chinese game developer MiHoYo. According to the agreement, MiHoYo, known for developing popular games such as Genshin Impact, will create exclusive games specifically for the HarmonyOS operating system. Console makers like Sony have been using this strategy for a long time. To boost sales, the company releases games that can only be played on its console, such as Spider-Man.
The agreement applies not only to exclusive games, but also to already released ones. For example, Genshin Impact will receive native support for HarmonyOS and will run with much better performance than before. In addition, thanks to cross-platform support, it will be possible to play simultaneously with Android and iOS users. Both Huawei and MiHoYo are expected to benefit from these developments, attracting more app developers to HarmonyOS.
There’s no word yet on when the new games will be released, but this partnership is a positive sign for the future of gaming on HarmonyOS.
