BlueStacks, the Android gaming platform for PCs, announced that it has crossed One billion downloads and has launched BlueStacks 5 (Beta) update that promises a 40 per cent reduction in RAM usage.
“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. 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,” said BlueStacks 5 chief architect Sharad Agarwal.
The new BlueStacks 5 (Beta) which will support ARM devices offers significantly faster boot, install and launch times and core gamers can look forward to better gameplay experiences, the company said in a statement.
“BlueStacks 5 is a fantastic Beta version. Faster, smoother, and much more efficient. It works well on lower configuration systems, too. FPS stability improves the smooth gameplay. Good work guys,” said Sevou, a leading gamer and popular YouTube streamer.
BlueStacks 5 promises a 40 per cent reduction in RAM usage over the previous version, making it the lightest and fastest mobile gaming platform ever built. Gamers just have to try it to feel the difference.
“Our product has been downloaded over one billion times since the first launch. We listened to our over 500 million users around the world and gave them what they wanted. They asked for truly immersive gameplay experience on an easy-to-use, fast-performing platform that is not demanding on hardware specs. BlueStacks 5 is giving millions of gamers just that,” said BlueStacks CEO Rosen Sharma.
“BlueStacks has been a solid partner with us for years and we’ve heard numerous positive feedback from our gamers about the BlueStacks App Player. We are looking forward to the BlueStacks 5 launch,” said DH Games, developers of popular games like Idle Heroes CEO Wang Wei.
