BlueStacks X: Why additional updates are required for the App Player

How will this help?

To be able to play certain games, an update of the App Player is required. For example, if you wish to play Teamfight Tactics (TFT) which can only be played on the updated version of the App Player, a pop-up will appear informing you about it at the time of launching the game.
