Run X (Formerly Twitter) on PC or Mac

Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out X (Formerly Twitter), a News & Magazines app by X Corp. on BlueStacks.

X is one of those apps where people are always talking, posting updates, and sharing hot takes, so there’s never really a dull moment. Running it on PC with BlueStacks actually feels a bit different — the feed shows up big and clear, and scrolling through news, memes, or whatever’s happening globally is just easy. Anything from breaking headlines to random threads about music or sports pops up, and it all comes at you in real-time. If there’s a huge game, political debate, or something viral happening, you’ll see it here before it’s even officially on the news.

People use X to share all sorts of things — photos, clips, quick thoughts. There’s almost always a trending topic or a live discussion. Direct messages make it easy to chat one-on-one or keep a side convo going while watching a live stream or listening to someone host a Space (that’s basically live audio where people host talks and sometimes just hang out, like a virtual panel or group radio). There’s this AI called Grok built in, too — it answers questions or sums up what’s happening, which is handy when the news feels overwhelming or if a post needs more context.

Communities are another part of it — spots for gamers, tech fans, people following crypto, or folks just wanting to keep up with entertainment news. Some folks go for that premium badge and get to do longer posts, edit stuff, or upload longer videos, but most people just hang around for the mix of big voices and everyday users reacting to what’s happening as it unfolds. It’s fast-paced, unpredictable, and kind of feels like always having front row seats to whatever conversation is taking off — from wild memes to more serious world events.

Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
