The developers have stated that they are planning to update the OSX version of BlueStacks in the future as well. The new version of BlueStacks is only available to Windows users for now while OSX users will remain on the older version for some time. Individual apps have hotkeys associated with multi-touch inputs like the pinch to zoom gesture. It may be awkward at first but after a little practice there won’t be much of a difference between the time it takes you to carry out common tasks on a touchscreen device and the same tasks via a keyboard and mouse. Of course, most users of BlueStacks still use them on their “touch-less” PCs so they can still use the mouse and keyboard combo.

However, the new interface has a toolbar of buttons that can be used to simulate motion detection via shortcuts like rotating the screen, shaking the device etc. The only difference that remains is the absence of motion detection in BlueStacks. For users with the option of touch inputs this can make the desktop Bluestacks experience almost seamless to the mobile one. Google account login is required to help install games from Google Play Store and for troubleshooting issues just the way it is on your phone.The newer version of BlueStacks has much more similarity to any mobile Android device experience. Why does BlueStacks need me to log in to my Google account? Although there is a paid version as well, however, that doesn’t affect the gaming experience in any way.

Yes, the Android Emulator is free to download. Download BlueStacks X on your PC and play via the Hybrid Cloud or use the BlueStacks 5 app player to download and play the game on your PC. Please note, we are presently working on making BlueStacks 5 available for macOS Play Android games via the app player or cloud client.
