BlueStacks, the most popular Android gaming platform for PCs, launched Creator Studio and Creator Hub on Tuesday, allowing users to mod and share games. Players will be able to make modifications to mobile games developed with the Cocos, Unity, and Unreal engines by using the new platform. Basic, moderate, and advanced modding levels are available.
The app’s basic level will allow users to mod and explore with colours and try out the games in a dark theme. The app will allow users to modify links to in-game events at the intermediate level. Finally, the advanced level would allow users to switch between 2D and 3D textures. A link can be provided to share the modded versions of the games.
The firm hopes to reach four billion users and 4.5 million creators with its new Creator Studio and Creator Hub. It believes that mobile game modification will open up new opportunities for new games to be made. BlueStacks Creator Studio and Creator Hub are backed by now.gg and now.gg’s NFG platform. According to the firm, Garena Free Fire has been the most modded game ever since its official launch. The “Running Trump” effect has been the most popular overall thus far.
Rosen Sharma, CEO and Founder, BlueStacks and now.gg said,
“By 2025, the majority of mobile gamers will play modded games. Imagine searching for a game and finding modded versions from your favorite gamers, streamers and fans. Making mobile game modding globally accessible opens up endless possibilities for gamers and creators, changing how we build, share, and experience mobile gaming forever.”
