Editor's Review
RetroArch comes from Libretro and is listed under the Action category on Google Play. In the developer's own words: "Retro games and emulators on your device!" It has passed 5 Million+ installs, and users rate it 3.8 out of 5 across 47.7K ratings. The latest version (1.22.2 (2026-08-26)) was released on 2026-08-26, so the game is still being actively updated. Good to know: it needs about 567 MB of storage.
