Is it possible to transfer game data between different versions of BlueStacks, and how can I do it?

Can you transfer game data between BlueStacks versions? Yes, but not always directly. Here are practical and up-to-date recommendations:

If the game uses cloud saves

Your progress will automatically transfer between BlueStacks versions.
Use the same Google account.
This works for most games like Roblox, Brawl Stars, Genshin Impact, etc.

If the game stores data locally

These saves are located inside BlueStacks’ virtual system.
They can be transferred manually, but it must be done carefully.

How to transfer data manually between BlueStacks versions

In the old version, find the data folder:
Bluestacks → Engine → UserData or SharedFolder.

Copy the files:
– userdata.img
– data.img
– sdcard.img

Paste them into the same folder in the new BlueStacks installation.
Restart the emulator.

Important: the transfer must be between compatible versions (e.g., BlueStacks 5 → BlueStacks 5).

Use the built-in import/export feature

Some BlueStacks builds include backup and restore tools in the settings menu.
This is the safest method.

If the game does not support progress transfer

Some games intentionally block transferring data to prevent cheating.
In those cases, recovery is only possible through the game’s official support.

If errors appear after transferring data

– Clear BlueStacks cache.
– Reinstall the game.
– Restore from backup.

If your progress disappeared after an update or transfer is impossible due to a technical issue, be sure to submit a complaint on Xolvie — this helps draw attention to the problem and can lead to data recovery.
