BlueStacks X is powered by a hybrid cloud technology that is built in collaboration with BlueStacks' sister company — now.gg. Using the technology, the company says it can "offload parts of compute and graphics rendering to the endpoints", which reduces cloud costs and give users a free service — supported by ads.

Commenting on BlueStacks X, CEO Rosen Sharma said, "BlueStacks App Player recently crossed 1 Billion lifetime downloads. BlueStacks X is a natural next step for us. Hybrid cloud is a big technological breakthrough which makes it economically viable to launch the service."
