Android emulator BlueStacks 5 is officially out of beta This new version of the Android emulator for PCs is faster and more stable than BS4. BlueStacks 5 has exited the beta stage and is now ready for its stable launch. The free Android emulator allows you to play mobile games on your PC with a keyboard, mouse, or game controller. Unfortunately, you’re still locked to Android 7 Nougat, although this suite should be faster and more stable than BlueStacks 4. When it comes to emulating Android on a PC, few software suites can compete with BlueStacks. The software allows you to install mobile games on your PC that you would normally find on the Google Play Store. What’s more, you can use different types of controls — including a keyboard/mouse combo — if touch controls just aren’t your thing.
