Pirates Outlaws from Fabled Game Studio launched on Steam during the Game Developers Conference in March and is currently available in the Steam store.

This is amazing news for our user acquisition team.”īlueStacks Inside is currently in a soft launch with a few select partners. “Developers can not only reach more people, but the people they reach on Steam are much more likely to play the game for longer and spend more than the average mobile gamer. “We see a nearly 80% overlap between high-value mobile gamers and high-value PC gamers,” said Mike Peng, head of global operations at Funplus, in a statement. The Steam Wallet will process all in-game purchases in the same way as a traditional app store.ĭevelopers seeking higher engagement and average revenue per user (ARPU) will find PC gamers as some of the most loyal and hardcore of any gaming cohort. It’s a PC game.”īlueStacks Inside for Steam will give developers access to a spectrum of features from a simple and mandatory payments integration, replacing traditional app stores, to Steam’s Community Hub, promotions, curators, and collections. When published with BlueStacks, a player downloading the game through Steam gets the full game experience. “We eliminate the need for separate development teams just to bring mobile games to a PC audience. So the partnership gives gamers access to the entire Android gaming library right on their PCs,” says Rosen Sharma, BlueStacks CEO, in a statement. “What we see is that the BlueStacks and Steam audiences overlap almost completely. Players can use their PCs to do the heavy lifting for games their phones would otherwise not be able to run well. BlueStacks Inside gives developers an opportunity to reach a much wider and valuable PC-based audience without the need to hire a separate PC development team.

On the other hand, gamers are caught in a struggle to maintain devices that can keep up with demanding games. With games like Lineage 2: Revolution and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, graphics and gameplay push the limits of what a mobile device can do.
