No. It's a native build of the game's code for PC (a decompilation, static recompilation or native port), so it runs like a PC game.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (original Xbox) gets a native Android port with touch controls, v1.1.0 out

RanggaCasper's MostWanted-Android is an unofficial native Android port of the original Xbox version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Black Edition). The game's x86 code is statically recompiled ahead of time to C++ with TGP482's XboxXBE-Recomp and built for arm64, with Vulkan graphics and SDL3 for windowing, input and audio. No emulator is involved. It adds full on-screen touch controls you can move and resize, controller and keyboard support, render resolution from 20% to 200%, frame-rate caps, FXAA and SSAA. v1.0.0 landed Oct 27 and v1.1.0 on Oct 29. It reuses the Android host from the same creator's Black-Android (already on the wire), and joins two other Most Wanted phone ports we've covered, codepdbh's NFSMW Android Evolved (Xbox 360) and NFSMW PC Recompiled.
