This can be achieved both with using a native client and browsers capable of native graphics rendering. Hybrid cloud enables the cloud to offload parts of compute and graphics rendering to the endpoints, dramatically reducing the cloud costs and enabling users to enjoy a free service. Hybrid cloud is a big technological breakthrough which makes it economically viable to launch the service,” Rosen Sharma, CEO, BlueStacks Inc, said in a statement.īlueStacks X (beta) is powered by hybrid cloud technology, built in partnership with now.gg, BlueStacks’ sister company. BlueStacks X is a natural next step for us. “BlueStacks App Player recently crossed 1 billion lifetime downloads. It is the only cloud gaming service on the market that offers free game streaming for mobile games across platforms and devices. BlueStacks X is available on Windows 10 and 11, Mac, iOS, Android, Chromebook and Raspberry Pi. The website also seems to have been redone to allow for you to choose whether to download a game straight into BlueStacks natively on your Windows PC or play in the cloud – if it’s available – which is a nice touch.BlueStacks has just announced the release of BlueStacks X (beta), the world’s first cloud-based game streaming service for mobile games. On PC, it’ll bring up a heads-up display to show you on-screen controls, but the game choice seems fairly limited at the moment and if you have a recent Android phone or iPhone, most, if not all games available right now, are actually just on the devices anyway? This seems like a work in progress, but a welcome one despite the lack of selection.īlueStacks do say that new games are coming weekly. The service will be free, but there are pre-roll ads (which I suspect ad blockers will cause issues with down the line). It runs on a combination of Amazon’s AWS servers, as well as BlueStacks’ own now.gg, with all the heavy lifting (rendering, etc.) done via the device itself.

You and your server can launch games, share sessions, and update people on what you’ve dumped cash into. This means, much like Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming, you’ll be able to access your favorite mobile games from Android directly on your iOS device or, if you want to go down the strangest route, directly in Discord?! It’s called BlueStacks X, it runs in the cloud and will allow you to play all manner of Android games pretty much anywhere you have a direct internet connection. Big brands such as Lenovo and Samsung are also starting to offer Black Friday discounts early, with many more to follow.īlueStacks, the free Windows Android emulator, has launched a brand new version of the software that works directly in your browser. Early Black Friday deals are starting to go live on Amazon & Best Buy.
