Modded mobile games could go mainstream with the latest BlueStacks feature
Why let the pirates have all the fun?
BlueStacks offers virtualization software, so those on Windows and MacOS can utilize Android apps and games on their systems. At the tail end of last year, BlueStacks X landed in beta, a cloud-based platform that's powered by now.gg and its NFG platform. This platform allows for the separation of game code, game events, and game art, which is why BlueStacks has officially announced Creator Studio & Creator Hub, brand new tools that allow users to create and share modded mobile games. BlueStacks has set its sights on bringing modded mobile gaming to the mainstream through Creator Studio & Creator Hub, available today.
BlueStacks X launches in beta to bring your favorite* Android games to the cloud
*Well, not your favorites. But someone's, probably
BlueStacks is one of the better ways to use Android apps and games on your desktop PC — at least until Windows 11 blows us away with its upcoming Amazon Appstore integration.

Phony 'Google Home App For PC' Chrome extension suckers in thousands of users
It just redirects to a page that tells you to install Bluestacks
There's no way to control a Google Assistant-powered smart home from a Windows PC, at least not yet. That's a problem, not just from the perspective of users, but for Google's ecosystem as a whole. Take this "Google Home App For PC" Chrome extension as an example—while it brazenly uses the official Google Home logo and has generic Google Home screenshots, it's merely a link to a sketchy website instructing you to install the Bluestacks emulator and then the Home app for Android.
MSI and Android emulator BlueStacks positioned themselves as an alternative for Android gamers when they announced their collaboration on the MSI App Player back in June 2018. Even though Android code doesn't run natively on desktop machines, the developers claim speedier performance than on a Samsung Galaxy S10. Now, MSI has announced that the App Player will be able to display games in 240 FPS on supported hardware, a first in the Android world.
Remember the BlueStacks App Player? It's been around for a pretty long time now. How long? Until just recently, the software that allowed users to run Android inside of Windows was powered by Gingerbread. Now the emulation software is making the leap to Ice Cream Sandwich, and while it's still two years behind the times, at least it looks somewhat modern. Well, until more devices make the transition to KitKat, that is.

Guys, stop talking about the Ouya for a second. Bluestacks has a different console it would like you to pay attention to: GamePop. The company that has previously worked on interoperability between Android software and other platforms, is now launching a console of its own. The hardware—including a console and physical controller—will be entirely free for people who pre-order. The catch? You have to pay for a subscription to play games.
BlueStacks made quite a splash when they released their alpha x86 Android app player for Windows late last year. When AMD invested millions of dollars into the company, it was clear that they were planning on leveraging the ever-expanding Android platform to put a shot into the arm of their PC chip business. Nearly a year after the initial investment, they're ready to make good: head on over to www.amd.com/appzone to check out the shiny new AMD App Zone.
