BlueStacks

BlueStacks is an Android emulator for Windows and Mac. It lets people run Android apps and mobile games on a desktop computer, with keyboard, mouse and gamepad controls instead of a touchscreen. The company also offers a cloud gaming platform so that games can be played instantly without installing them locally.

The product includes many gaming-oriented tools: configurable game controls, multi-instance and multi-instance sync for running several game windows, macros, scripts and an eco mode, along with performance modes and settings for high frame rates and graphics. A separate edition called BlueStacks Air targets Macs with Apple Silicon. It is a proprietary desktop application from the vendor, with an affiliated store and a games blog.
