In a nutshell, you’ll need to root BlueStacks, install a handful of apps (links below) then you can play Pokémon GO on PC.

This works for even the latest version of BlueStacks and on Windows 10, 8.1, 8 & 7.

So we’ve fine tuned the process to show you the easy & concise way how to install and play Pokémon GO on PC with BlueStacks. Thanks to DIY tips from Travis D’s YouTube video he was able to successfully illustrate it, however, it is rather long and some steps are not entirely necessary. Any loss of data, ban, or other recourse taken by Niantic as a consequence of this process is solely the responsibility of the player. We, BlueStacks, do not endorse nor support this in any way. Before we continue we want to acknowledge full disclosure that this is against Niantic’s terms of use of the game so use at your own risk.

There are several valid use cases for this try it out before going mobile, collect all characters from the comfort of your desk versus walking around to find them, or it can be used to cheat within the game. Although our BlueStacks app player is based on the PC or Mac, it does not limit playing the game on an emulator. Update: We have released a new version of App Player specific to Pokemon GoĮveryone is raving about Pokémon GO, an augmented reality game to get out in the real world to and collect virtual Pokémon characters.
