BlueStacks launches BlueStacks 5 (Beta)

BlueStacks has launched its BlueStacks 5 (Beta) update. The new update is claimed to have been built from the ground up to consume significantly less memory and support ARM. 

The year 2020 made a big impact on the gaming industry and changed the way people spend their free time. 2021 is likely to see nearly 2.8 billion people worldwide gamers, according to a Newzoo report. With developers coming out with bigger and heavier games, more mobile gamers will play in interruption-free environments and migrate to PC-based platforms such as BlueStacks.

“Our app container technology enables games to be optimised 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 of BlueStacks 5, 

A typical BlueStacks user spends an average of 5 hours playing mobile games every day. But mobile games were not designed for such long play times. The FPS lock and long-flight features enable smooth continuous game play making the new BlueStacks 5 (Beta) a great platform for marathon gaming sessions. With significantly faster boot, install, and launch times, core gamers can now look forward to amazing game play experiences for performance-hungry RPGs, strategy and other games. 

BlueStacks 5 (beta) 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.
