Mobile company BlueStacks has launched BlueStacks TV. Through the Android emulator, users will be able to watch mobile streams from a PC or stream themselves.
BlueStacks is the creator of the Android emulator of the same name for Windows and Mac OS X.
The same games that are popular on Twitch are launched through the application. Therefore, according to BlueStacks management, the partnership between the companies arose naturally.
“Our users have been playing such mobile games as Heartstone, Battle of Castles, Vainglory and others for a long time – we just built a bridge between our platforms that unites two huge audiences,” comments Rosen Sharma, CEO of the company.
It is emphasized that in order to launch BlueStacks TV, users will not have to change, purchase or configure anything. The representatives of the company themselves promise that the broadcast will be available “in one click”.
According to BlueStacks, Twitch is currently used by 1.7 million streamers. The service is actively used as a channel to promote mobile games. One of the latest examples is Punch Club, which was advertised using streamers.
BlueStacks TV with Twitch integration, according to the authors of the solution, should make it easier for mobile publishers and developers to promote games through this channel.
To celebrate the launch of BlueStacks TV, the company is hosting a Heartstone tournament. 16 top players participate in the competition. The tournament is held on the BlueStacksInc channel with the support of Glory4Gamers (and at the time of the release of this text is still in progress). The winner will receive a thousand dollars.
