However, we recommend using the BlueStacks Store to search for and install any app as it offers various advantages over the Google Play Store such as:

  • No compatibility issues with apps/games
  • It recommends the best Android version for an optimum gameplay experience
  • Configures your App Player for better performance and experience

No compatibility issues with apps/games

Using the Google Play Store can lead to compatibility issues when you want to install an app that requires a specific Android version. In this case, you will either not see the app on the Google Play Store or, if it is available, you will receive an error message.

By using the BlueStacks Store or the search bar on your home screen, various problems like the one described above can be avoided.

Recommends the best Android version for games

When you're installing an app/game through the BlueStacks Store the best Android version, if needed, will be recommended to you to ensure you have the best gameplay experience. 

By using the BlueStacks Store, you can:

  • Avoid any in-game lag or app crashes that may occur if the game is installed through the Google Play Store.
  • Play at the best FPS and graphical settings available for your app 

To get started, simply launch the BlueStacks Store and search for the app/game you want to install! To learn more, click here.
