Game Performance Index: A New Standard to Measure Mobile Game Performance
summary
A reproducible scoring system called the Game Performance Index combines measured frame-rate smoothness, graphics quality, touch latency, load time, battery drain and device temperature into one experience-driven score. Analysis of 90,000 Fortnite users shows session retention rises once 80% smoothness is reached. The method applies competitive and casual user profiles to benchmark recent flagship phones and reveals different device rankings between profiles. A white paper and implementation details are available.
