Survivor Royale is one of three multiplayer battle royale Android apps released by Netease Games that are dominating the Google Play Store, with the others being Knives Out and Rules of Survival. While Rules of Survival has been playable on a few app players, Survivor Royale has been unsupported on many Android devices, including emulators for PC.
Recently however, Bignox and Microvirt have released new updates to Nox App Player and MEmu respectively, which fixes the “sorry, your mobile device is not supported, currently” error message by adding OpenGL ES 3.0 support. This means you can play the fastest-growing mobile battle royale Android games on PC for the maximum gaming experience.
Unfortunately, Bluestacks is not completely compatible yet at this time.
