BlueStacks has crossed over a billion downloads

BlueStacks Inc., the developer of Bluestacks App player, a platform to emulate Android games on PC today launched – BlueStacks 5 (Beta). It is said to be a complete rewrite of the product, internally code-named Robusta, built from the ground up to consume significantly less memory and support ARM.

“Our app container technology enables games to be optimized to run on PC, Mac and other devices without any additional work needed from the developer. This is a key component missing in both Android on Chromebook and iOS apps on Mac. We see the market for BlueStacks App Player expanding considerably with Apple’s endorsement of running iOS apps on the Mac form factor, and App Containers is a key technology for this,” said Sharad Agarwal, Chief Architect for BlueStacks 5, “ARM devices have a big advantage over x86 devices for running Android Apps as they don’t need binary translation. Our support for ARM reflects the work we have been doing for the last three years.”

The FPS lock and Long-flight features enable a smooth continuous gameplay. It offers significantly faster boot, install, and launch times.

Further, as many gamers tend to switch between Discord, browsing, and gaming, the Eco-mode feature lets them multi-task more efficiently than ever before. With the upgraded Multi instance manager and Eco mode, gamers can run more BlueStacks instances faster and with the lesser lag. Significantly refined game controls, and interface improvements, allow gamers to enjoy a seamless gaming experience unlike any other.

“BlueStack 5 is lighter and super fast. Gameplay is much smoother. Eco-mode is a legendary step. Discord switching is super easy now. Highly recommend gamers to switch to this version,” said Red Arcade, a pro gamer and popular YouTube streamer.

BlueStacks 5 (beta) promises a 40% reduction in RAM usage over the previous version.

“Our product has been downloaded over 1BN times since the first launch. We listen to our over 500 million users around the world and give them what they want. They asked for truly immersive gameplay experience on an easy-to-use, fast-performing platform that is not demanding on hardware specs. And BlueStacks 5 is giving millions of gamers just that,” said Rosen Sharma, CEO of BlueStacks Inc.

“BlueStacks has been a solid partner with us for years and we’ve heard numerous positive feedbacks from our gamers about the BlueStacks App Player, we are looking forward to the BlueStacks 5 launch”, said Wang Wei, CEO of DHgames, developers of popular games like Idle Heroes.
