How to play games using a Nougat 32-bit instance on BlueStacks 5

How can I do this?

Certain apps require a Nougat 32-bit instance to deliver the best performance and to avoid any unexpected errors. To ensure a smooth and seamless experience we recommend installing certain apps on a Nougat 32-bit instance. To do this, you need to:

  • Create a Nougat 32-bit instance using the Multi-instance Manager
  • Install the desired game on the created instance

Take a look at the steps below for a detailed walkthrough.

1. Launch BlueStacks 5 and click on the Multi-instance Manager icon on the Side toolbar.

  • Click on "Instance" and then select "Fresh instance"
  • From the dropdown menu select "Nougat 32-bit" and then, click on "Next"

NOTE: If you've selected the Nougat 32-bit Android version for the first time, a message will appear asking you to download additional files associated with it.

  • Memory allocation: Assign the amount of RAM for this instance.
  • Resolution: Select the resolution for your instance here.
  • ABI setting: Choose the desired ABI libraries for your instance.
  • Performance mode: Select a suitable performance mode to experience optimum performance.
  • DPI: Allot a DPI from 160, 240 and 320.
  • Instance count: You can create one or more instances with the same settings.

NOTE: If you've created an Android Nougat 32-bit instance in the past, you will see a "Create" button instead of "Download".
