GameLoop

GameLoop is Tencent Games’ upgraded version of Tencent Gaming Buddy, built to let you play mobile games like PUBG Mobile, COD Mobile, and Free Fire on your PC. The initial installer is small — just 3.6 MB — but the emulator itself downloads an additional 500 MB to 1 GB during setup. After that, individual games add more: PUBG Mobile runs 1.5–2 GB, while Call of Duty: Mobile takes up 2.5–3.6 GB.

Features and Installation Process

GameLoop (formerly Tencent Gaming Buddy) is one of the more well-developed Android emulators available for PC. It runs smoothly even on lower-spec computers and supports a wide range of games. You can adjust its settings to fine-tune performance for your specific hardware, and launching a game is straightforward: install GameLoop, download the game you want from its library, and it launches automatically once setup completes.

GameLoop’s built-in library includes popular titles such as Call of Duty: Mobile, Free Fire, PUBG Mobile, and Mobile Legends. While these are mobile games at their core, GameLoop is what brings them to your desktop — you don’t need a phone or tablet to play them once they’re installed through the emulator.

Playing on a Bigger Screen

One of the main advantages of GameLoop is screen size. Games like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Free Fire benefit a lot from a larger display — in shooting games especially, being able to judge distance and spot enemies matters, and a bigger screen makes that easier. GameLoop lets you choose from preset resolutions like 1024×576, 1366×768, and 1280×720, or press F11 to toggle fullscreen and cycle through available sizes.

Is GameLoop Safe to Use?

GameLoop is developed and maintained by Tencent, one of the larger gaming companies globally, and the software itself does not contain malware. As with any emulator or third-party software, the safest approach is to download it only from the official GameLoop site or a trusted mirror, and to avoid installer bundles from unverified sources, which is where most malware risk actually comes from — not from the software itself.
