Mobile gamers can enjoy Android titles on their PCs with better graphics and controls. This summer, Bungie ended Destiny 2 development, prompting the author to try Destiny: Rising on PC via Android emulation. Using tools like Mu Mu Player or BlueStacks, users can run Android apps on Windows.

While Microsoft dropped Windows Subsystem for Android in 2024, emulators remain the most robust solution. Google Play Games for PC offers a lighter alternative for select titles like Genshin Impact, but many games, including Destiny: Rising, are absent. For content creators and developers, Android emulation opens new possibilities. Simply install an emulator, create a virtual device, and download apps from the Play Store.

Even non-gamers benefit from casting phone screens via Phone Link.
