BlueStacks 2 lets Windows users run multiple Android apps at once

BlueStacks, the popular Android emulator for Windows, has reached a huge milestone and is releasing its biggest update yet. The company has announced that it has been downloaded more than 100 million times so far, showing huge interest, and to celebrate it's adding a number of new features.

The better that Android apps and games become, the more growth the company is seeing. BlueStacks SVP, Business Development + Marketing told our sister site Android Central:

"Whenever there is a new hit Android game, we see a boost in growth. Basically, as mobile penetration and awareness increases, installs of BlueStacks increase in kind. We follow the hits."

In BlueStacks 2, they've married gameplay and app discovery, meaning when you click an ad a new tab will open so you can continue playing without being interrupted. Additionally, BlueStacks 2 will incorporate the ability to run multiple apps at the same time in different tabs, which is a first. This is great for running messaging and gaming, or news and messaging apps at the same time. You can grab the latest version of BlueStacks now.
