Even more, some emulators will allow you to use a mouse and keyboard with your Android games.īluestacks is by far the most popular user-oriented Android emulator out there, but it didn’t get this popular because it’s the best solution available. Trust me, any Android game looks way better on a big screen monitor, especially if you got the right hardware to maintain that steady framerate.

Having the possibility to run Android apps on a Windows-based PC can certainly come in handy. All Android emulators are powered by the virtualization concept – a device within a device that enables you to use all the features of an Android device on a PC or MAC. Taking into account how many devices run this OS, it becomes apparent why Android emulators experienced such a massive growth. It is predicted that in 2019 Android’s market share will reach a staggering 90%.
