Android Emulators are important for those who want to play android games on their Windows or Mac machine. You can easily navigate the position of your target because the screen size is big. This can be more helpful for those who don’t have a good configuration phone. Again, live streaming of any android game is easy. Because with the help of any streaming software like OBS, Stream lab, and many others you can easily stream your gaming on multiple platforms at a time.
Which Emulator should use?
If you search on google about the best emulator for gaming then you can see a lot of different results. This is actually a big problem for beginners. You can find many different emulators that are already well ranked on google but actually, many of them are not even made for gaming. Some of them are made for testing apps directly from Android studio, some of them made for script-based automation.
As a gamer and developer, I know which emulators are best for gaming and which are best for app testing. Here we are going to write about the best emulator for gaming.
I did a lot of testing on different emulators like Bluestacks, Nox, LD player, Memo player, Delphine, and even some harmful programs. Here I am going to discuss the top 3 emulators for gaming that I just discovered recently. Here is the list:
