Know Your Android Emulator

Myth #1

Android emulators come bundled with programs and executables that slow your system down to a crawl.

Others

Some Android emulators may attempt to bundle anything malicious with their software. In the past, we have noticed that some have bundled cryptocurrency miners, malware, spyware that may try to make unauthorized connections on your PC. That is why you should always download an Android emulator from a trusted site.

The BlueStacks Way

BlueStacks prides itself in providing a clean gaming experience without any malware, spyware and adware. Selling data is not our business model nor is it something we do – ever. We are the only Android gaming platform partnered with MSI, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Samsung, and over 150 top game developers.

Myth #2

You need a high-end PC to play Android games on your PC

Others

Not all Android Emulators focus on the latest technology and advanced engineering to optimize your system’s resource utilization efficiently. This may adversely impact the gameplay and performance on a low-end PC, especially in heavy games. Simply running a modern-day game on such emulators might be a lot of work for your PC. While nothing can beat the power of high-end PCs, some Android Emulators are definitely capable of running games even on a low-spec PC – as they are backed by the latest technology.

The BlueStacks Way

BlueStacks can run on any machine, even though we recommend some minimum requirements, they are in no way mandatory to play most games. An average PC configuration can compete with high-end Android devices when using BlueStacks. We provide options to select how many CPU cores and the amount of RAM you want to allocate to BlueStacks, adjusting your game performance accordingly. In fact, in recent test results, on an average, BlueStacks was found to be 30% faster than any other Android platform in the world.

Myth #3

People who play Android games on PC do so only to gain an unfair advantage or to cheat

Others

While some people may use Android emulators to gain an unfair advantage, running these cheats, most of the time, requires root access. Getting root access opens a world of possibilities to tamper with the system files. Once a person gets root access, he or she can go on to change game files, tweak in-game graphics or even cheat during the gameplay with wall and aim hacks. Some games like PUBG: Mobile and COD: Mobile detect emulators and pair with players and teams only on emulators.

The BlueStacks Way

Because BlueStacks works directly with developers and technology providers, we have the ability to have the best game compatibility in the market. As an Android gaming platform, not an emulator, our developer partners trust us to provide fair and balanced gameplay and in return provide us with early access to games and content in order to make sure the games run well when it’s your turn to play them. Because of this, we take extraordinary measures to make sure our users play fairly and do not cheat. This includes controlling Root Access as well as some other deeper developer integrations to make cheating incredibly difficult for even the most tech-savvy gamers.

Myth #4

No matter how much RAM and CPU cores I allocate to my Android emulator, it will never be as good as my mobile phone/tablet.

Others

Some emulators may perform better than an expensive Android phone even on an average budget PC with 8GB RAM and Quad Core. However, other than the number of CPU Cores and RAM you choose to allocate to the emulator, its performance is also dependent on many other factors. Can it smoothly run high-definition games? Does it support the upgraded Android versions for a superior performance? Is it fine tuned to leverage your PC’s resources efficiently? Does it optimize graphics settings for smoother gameplay? Does it get frequent updates? A powerful emulator will always focus on enhancing your gaming experience with useful features and timely upgrades.

The BlueStacks Way

BlueStacks has various tweaks such as the different graphics modes, and tips & tricks to make BlueStacks perform better than the fastest of phones, and give you a better gaming experience than possible on even the most expensive Android devices. BlueStacks’ Hyper-G graphics leverage your entire system to produce an optimized gaming experience regardless of specifications. Whether you have an integrated graphics card or an RTX 2080Ti, you can run the latest demanding Android games with incredible performance better than any Android phone.
