TL;DR
- BlueStacks has launched Prime as a $4.99-per-month subscription that removes ads.
- Subscribers also get rewards, discounts, and priority support.
- New subscribers can get the first month for $0.99, after which the regular monthly price applies.
If you’ve ever used BlueStacks to emulate Android games on your PC, you’ll know ads are part of the deal, but the popular emulator is now offering a way around that. The company has just announced BlueStacks Prime, a new monthly subscription that offers an ad-free experience and other perks.
According to a post on the BlueStacks support site, Prime is positioned as a premium layer on top of the existing emulator rather than a replacement. The headline feature is ad-free gameplay across the App Player, but subscribers also get 500 NowBux every month (worth $5), extra discounts on select in-game purchases, and faster access to support.
