Gameplay improvements
- Different players use a different mouse and keyboard sensitivities. If you use Free Look, you may feel the need to adjust, the camera pan based on your gameplay style whether it is "too fast" or "too slow". You may affect this adjustment using the "Sensitivity" setting. Similarly, while using the keyboard you may wish to adjust the "speed" of the swipe to suit your own gameplay experience.
- In Blade and Soul Revolution, while using Free Look with keyboard or mouse, the camera reset on the character when the touch point reaches the edge of the screen. This prevents making a perfect 360-degree turn. You may set an "Edge reset delay" value of 50 milliseconds to reset the camera at the edge of the screen so that a 360-degree turn can be made.
- You will not experience any growth in memory usage if you leave 4 or more BlueStacks instances idle on your PC.

Utilizes dedicated GPU to improve performance- You’ll notice a substantial reduction in CPU usage, if your PC has an integrated graphics and a dual GPU, BlueStacks will run on the dedicated GPU in preference over the integrated graphics causing the CPU consumption to drop significantly.

Upon its first launch, it creates a shortcut on the Windows desktop. This provides the flexibility of launching the main and subsidiary BlueStacks instances from a single control panel.
Each multi-instance window can be resized to suit the size of the screen available on your PC.
Streaming enhancements - You can now stream your gameplay to Twitch, Mixer, Facebook Live, Youtube using a game capture window, through OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and XSplit.

You can now use the Look Around capability for MOBA mode. Press “G” key to look around the map - you can move the camera around and look at parts of the map that aren't visible in your current line of sight perspective. Games usually allow swipe to move the camera. You can now achieve the same effect by using Aim, pan and shoot mode with Tweaks = 42.
You can now use multi touch. You can press a key to generate a tap at one point and release the key to generates a tap at another point. These points can be specified/mapped to build a multi touch keyboard control.
You can use the left mouse button to cast spells and right mouse button to move. You can press both t together to move the character and cast the spell.
Now, you can set a MOBA skill settings option Stop MOBA dpad to True (of False) to stop the movement of the character. If set True then the character will stop after casting that particular skill. If set to False, it will continue to move forward.
Now you can preserve the MOBA skill even when the skill key (let's say Q) and basic attack tap button (Spacebar) are pressed instantaneously. Now, you can use the MOBA skill for the basic attack and set the value of "AutoAttack" in the MOBA skill settings as True with 200 milliseconds time interval in the Q skill in "No cancel time", resolves this issue.
You can use a number for YAxisRatio, a new parameter in MOBA skill settings, for improving accuracy of the MOBA skills with the mouse cursor.
MOBA Legends improvements
You can now autocast MOBA skill
- Normal cast - Press Q and use mouse cursor to aim the skill, press left mouse button to cast.
- Auto cast - Press Q, game decides where the skill will be cast and the skill is cast as soon as Q is released.
Change log
- You should see an improvement in the overall quality of icons in the Dock, My Apps, etc, due to high quality bitmap image rendering for all images in BlueStacks
- You can now use Chrome as the default Android browser with Chrome. Switching to Chrome as the default eliminates the lag experienced while typing in the default Android browser .
- If you had experienced Windows Defender flagging a problem report as an invalid zip archive, that won’t happen anymore. We have corrected a mismatch between the archive format (.7z) and file type (.zip) for the problem report.
- In certain situations, the locale was changed after a BlueStacks upgrade . We have resolved the cause for this behaviour.
- While using the Shooting mode, you can now press multiple mouse buttons at the same time and achieve the effects you want. Earlier, one of the mouse button events could have been lost.
