Controls Guide for action games on BlueStacks 5

How can I play action games on BlueStacks 5?

To elevate your gaming experience in action games on BlueStacks 5, we highly recommend pressing F1 when you start playing. 

When you press F1, you will be able to:

  • Use the left mouse button for primary attacks
  • Use your mouse to look around, explore environments and manage inventory with ease
  • Have a more immersive gameplay experience as the absence of a mouse cursor allows you to fully engage with the game world, making your gameplay experience more realistic and captivating

To show your mouse cursor again and to interact with some in-game elements, you can press F1 on your keyboard again.

Tip: To temporarily show your mouse cursor and quickly interact with in-game elements, hold ALT on your keyboard. 

Whether you're fighting for survival or battling your enemies, pressing F1 provides a more engaging and immersive gameplay experience for you.


In which games should I press F1?

A few games in which you can use this are:

  • Star Wars: Hunters™
  • Free Fire / Free Fire MAX
  • Standoff 2
  • Stumble Guys
  • Wuthering Waves
  • Solo Leveling: Arise
  • Punishing: Gray Raven
  • Tower of Fantasy

...and many more! 


What are some of the basic controls I can use?

Once you have pressed F1, you can use various basic controls listed below to play.

Take a look at the clip below to see how this works. When you press F1 on your keyboard:

  • The mouse cursor will disappear
  • You will be able to use the left mouse button to execute primary attacks
  • You can move your mouse around to view your surroundings

We'll be using "Star Wars: Hunters™" as a representative example.
