BlueStacks 4, the latest version, runs on Android Nougat (7) technology and it was the first emulator to implement it back in 2018. And ever since then, BlueStacks has added a lot of new features with every update making the gaming experience better and better! Here are few of them that we loved while playing the Android games on BlueStacks.

#3. MOBA Mode!
Online battle arena and role playing games have gained immense popularity over the times. And the eagerness to play such MOBA games on PC with BlueStacks has also seen a hike. That being said, the MOBA mode in the emulator lets you control the game dynamically instead of your regular WASD keys. Here’s how to activate the MOBA mode in BlueStacks.
- Launch the game and press CTRL + Shift + A to access the advanced game controls.
- Next, drag and drop the D-Pad on the screen and open the D-Pad settings with right-click
- Now choose the MOBA mode and click on Save Changes to activate MOBA mode.
With this, you can skip the usual WASD keys and set custom keys for particular actions. You can find the advanced MOBA settings from the official website here.
#4. High FPS!
When it comes to shooting games, the games are designed to be best played with high FPS. The game that involves quick movements of opponents usually needs high FPS on your PC to be in the game. This is because you need to plan your moves quickly, attack them to win the battles and to do this, high FPS is required in the games you play. To set up high FPS, go to BlueStacks settings from bottom right sidebar and click on Engine option. Now, set the FPS slider to 60 and tick the ‘Enable High Frame Rates’ option in order to adjust the FPS further. These changes will be applicable when you launch the game next time.
Apart from these features, the custom key mappings is something which you’ll find missing in other emulators like NoxPlayer and MEmu.
