If you’re trying to run mobile applications on your PC, you’ll mostly come across one emulator. BlueStacks. While there are many other emulators available that let you play games and run Android apps, BlueStacks remains the most popular. It’s also considered one of the oldest and most reliable emulators.
Most famous streamers, like IShowSpeed, still use Blue Stacks or similar emulators to run mobile games on a PC. But the problem is, the latest version of BlueStacks doesn’t work well on low-end systems — and in fact, it often doesn’t run at all on heavy or older PCs. Imagine how difficult it would be for people with even weaker PC.
You cannot run the latest BlueStacks version on an outdated system — it’s filled with ads and requires a lot of resources. That’s why we use an older version: BlueStacks 4. It helps avoid all problems and still allows us to play games smoothly.
Now, if you’re thinking of using BlueStacks 1, 2, or even 3, those versions are no longer optimized. Some apps crash, and some don’t even open. That’s why BlueStacks 4 is the most perfect version, especially if you want to play Free Fire, PUBG Mobile, and other heavy titles.
Most games come with built-in keymapping in BlueStacks 4, and for those that don’t, you can easily set it up manually. BlueStacks comes in two variants—32-bit and 64-bit. If you install the wrong version on your system, it simply won’t run and will give you an error.
So, it’s important to install the correct version for your PC.
Minimum System Requirements for BlueStacks 4
- RAM: At least 3–4 GB
- Graphics Card: Not mandatory, but if there’s no dedicated GPU installed, you’ll need at least a 512MB external graphics card
- Processor: Should be 2nd generation or newer — it works well on all of them
