Purpose
It is the best emulator for anyone who wants to play mobile games without using an M1 Mac. In fact, Bluestacks cannot be download on M1 Mac since it is still programmed for Intel-based Mac. MacBook Pro M1 with MACOS 12 Beta 3, running Parallels 16.5.1, with Windows 10 ARM insider preview installed I can download and install bluestacks 5. The state of Android emulation on macOS x64 is already pretty terrible. Nox and Bluestacks are years behind in development compared to their Windows equivalents. I even looked into running Androidx86, ChromeOS, ect builds in VMs but the lack of VMware-tools makes it too clunky for day to day use.
