Enabling multiplayer mode on BlueStacks enables you to use 2, 3, or more accounts on one computer. However, this Multi instance feature depends entirely on your computer's configuration, as applying it to 2 accounts means your computer has to handle 2 instances of BlueStacks running simultaneously. Therefore, consider carefully before enabling multiplayer mode on BlueStacks.
Guide to Enable Multiplayer Mode on BlueStacks
Multi-instance isn't exclusive to BlueStacks. Many Android emulators feature this functionality. However, BlueStacks excels in maximizing computer configurations. Thus, if you want to play multiple accounts, using the BlueStacks Android emulator is the top choice.
1. Enable mode with a new account.
2. Enable mode with an existing account.
3. Delete Multi-instance.
How to Enable Multiplayer Mode on BlueStacks
To enable multiplayer mode on BlueStacks, open BlueStacks and click on Multi-instance, then select New to create a new BlueStacks instance. Here, we have two options: create a new account or simply clone an existing account.
1. Activate Multi-instance on BlueStacks with a new account:
Step 1: If you choose to activate multi-instance on BlueStacks with a new account, simply select New > then proceed to name > click Create to create a BlueStacks with a completely new account.
Step 2: A new BlueStacks window will appear, and naturally, this stage will take longer than opening BlueStacks normally.
Step 3: Here we will proceed to install BlueStacks just like we install BlueStacks completely new.
Step 4: Use any Gmail account to log in to BlueStacks, and of course, it must be a new account.
Agree to Google's and BlueStacks' terms and then click I Agree.
Step 5: Then you can download apps from the Google Play store to your computer as usual.
Step 6: Now try downloading and entering any game, and you will see that it is a completely different account from your old one on BlueStacks.

2. Enable Multi-instance on BlueStacks with an existing account:
Step 1: Enabling multi-instance on BlueStacks with an existing account is simply opening an additional window to play another game. If you want to play multiple games on one account, here you choose Clone instead of New as instructed above.
Step 2: Similarly, a new window will appear, but this process will be faster than creating a new one.
Step 3: And of course, when activating Multi-instance in the existing account mode, BlueStacks will be exactly the same as before. Besides, you don't need to set up anything else.
Step 4: You can apply this method to play multiple different games on the same account, which is both convenient and simple.
3. Delete Multi-instance, multiplayer mode on BlueStacks
After enabling multiplayer mode on BlueStacks, if you no longer want to use this mode and want to remove it completely, simply click on the gear icon in the newly created BlueStacks section and select Delete Instance to finish.
Through this article, we have completed understanding how to enable multiplayer mode on BlueStacks, also known as Multi-instance on BlueStacks. This is one of the features available on BlueStacks that many people use. Another point to note when enabling Multi-instance mode on BlueStacks is that each BlueStacks window will default to 2 GB of RAM, but we can add more RAM to BlueStacks if desired, as long as your computer can handle it and adding RAM to BlueStacks does not affect your computer.
