What's more, they should be able to run these apps inside their Chrome browser, thanks to Bluestacks X, from the company that created the popular Bluestacks Android emulator. While support for Android apps may not be available at launch time, users can actually run Android apps and play games like Battlegrounds Mobile India and Garena Free Fire on their computer and laptop today.
