How to play mobile games on PC

Mobile gaming’s popularity has always been on a steady incline ever since the early days of Fruit Ninja-ing and Candy Crush-ing. In 2019, we’ve reached a peak point where we are able to play MMORPG and sometimes, the same title that PC and console has, on our phone. This ultimately leads to several problems such as the mobile devices heating up in your hand or even just having a strong enough smartphone to run these games with heavy graphics. Here’s how to play mobile games on PC if you don’t have a strong smartphone / don’t like the phone warming up your palm / just want more accuracy and precision. In this article, we’ll focus on BlueStacks!

What is BlueStacks?

It’s basically an emulator that lets you install and play mobile games on your PC! This totally circumvents stuff like the lack of phone storage, weak graphics card and lack of support for the type of OS you’re using. Boasting a processing speed of six times faster than the Samsung Galaxy S9+, this emulator dubbed itself the fastest mobile gaming platform. Here are some of its other features that makes it one of the best emulator out there:

• Run games on Android N 7.1.2

This essentially provides a wider range of compatibility that lets you run mobile game on larger monitor without the game looking like a pixelated mess.

• Keyboard keymapping

Map your on-screen buttons to your mouse and keyboard for more precise game play! This is great for especially for shooter games.

• Multi-windows / instance

This is infinitely my favorite feature. BlueStacks will let you run multiple games at once OR multiple instance of the same game. Talk about upping that farm game, eh?

• Earn BlueStacks Points

Simply by playing the game, you can earn BlueStacks Points that are spendable in the BlueStacks Store! Exchangeable items include gaming gear, BlueStacks swag, in-game items and many more.
