Notes
BlueStacks 5 vs BlueStacks 10 (or X as it’s often called):
- v5 is for playing the games on your PC by downloading the games. This enables the user to play the games offline.
- v10 is for cloud gaming where the user streams the games in higher quality using the company’s system and hardware rather than the user’s computer. This helps to take some load off the storage and hardware of the user’s device.
- v4 is simply an earlier version of v5.
