TL;DR
State of Survival has no official PC client. The best way to play it on PC in 2026 is BlueStacks — it runs the full game with keyboard shortcuts, a larger screen, and no battery drain. Setup takes about 10 minutes.
Why Play State of Survival on PC?
State of Survival is a zombie-apocalypse strategy game by FunPlus that rewards constant attention — rally timers, troop healing, base defense, and alliance events all compete for your focus. Playing on PC gives you:
- Larger screen: See your full base layout, troop formations, and map territory at once.
- Macro support: Use BlueStacks Macros to automate repetitive tasks like collecting resources or speeding up construction during events.
- No phone overheating: Long sessions with heavy alliance events can overheat phones. PC doesn't have that problem.
- Side-by-side play: Run multiple accounts in different BlueStacks instances simultaneously.
- Keyboard controls: Navigate menus, send troops, and chat much faster with a keyboard.
System Requirements
Before starting, make sure your PC meets these requirements:
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 11 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel/AMD (any 2015+) | 8 cores, 3.0 GHz+ |
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB or more |
| Storage | 10 GB free (BlueStacks) + 2 GB (game) | SSD preferred |
| GPU | DirectX 11 | Dedicated NVIDIA/AMD GPU |
| Virtualization | Intel VT-x or AMD-V (must be enabled) | Same |
State of Survival itself is a moderate-weight game — it runs fine on minimum specs, but heavier alliance events and large map renders benefit from more RAM.
Step 1 — Download and Install BlueStacks
- Go to bluestacks.com and download the latest BlueStacks 5 installer.
- Run the installer. BlueStacks will download its engine files during setup (~700 MB).
- After installation, BlueStacks will open to the home screen.
Tip: If BlueStacks fails to start, see our BlueStacks Not Opening Fix guide — the most common cause is virtualization being disabled in BIOS.
Step 2 — Sign In to Google Play
State of Survival is downloaded through the Google Play Store built into BlueStacks.
- When BlueStacks opens, it will prompt you to sign into a Google account.
- Use an existing Google account or create a new one (free at accounts.google.com).
- Sign in through the BlueStacks interface — you do not need to download or install anything extra.
Note: If you already play State of Survival on mobile, use the same Google account you linked to the game to transfer your progress automatically.
Step 3 — Install State of Survival
- After signing in, click the Google Play icon on the BlueStacks home screen.
- Search for "State of Survival" in the Play Store search bar.
- Click Install on the official FunPlus International result.
- Wait for the download and installation to complete (~1.5 GB, may take 3–10 minutes depending on your connection).
Once installed, the game icon appears on the BlueStacks home screen. Click it to launch.
Step 4 — First Launch and Account Setup
When you launch State of Survival for the first time inside BlueStacks:
- The game will run through a loading sequence and initial tutorial.
- On the account selection screen, choose Google Play to link to the account you signed in with.
- If you're a new player, the game creates a new settlement on a random server. You can migrate servers within the first 7 days if needed.
- If you're transferring from mobile, your progress should appear automatically after selecting the same Google account — the game's data syncs through FunPlus servers, not the device.
Step 5 — Configure Controls for PC Play
State of Survival is designed for touch, but BlueStacks translates inputs intelligently. Out of the box, you can click and drag with your mouse. For a better experience, set up keyboard shortcuts.
Access the Keymapping Tool:
- Click the Keyboard icon on the right-hand BlueStacks toolbar (looks like a game controller).
- The Keymapping tool overlay appears on the game screen.
Recommended keymapping layout:
| Action | Suggested Key |
|---|---|
| Open World Map | M |
| Resource Collection | R |
| Open Alliance Chat | A |
| Building Menu | B |
| Hero Management | H |
| Open Settings | Escape |
| Zoom In/Out | Mouse scroll wheel |
BlueStacks also has community-shared keymapping profiles for State of Survival — check the BlueStacks community hub if you want to import a preset.
Step 6 — Optimize Performance Settings
For smoother gameplay, especially during large alliance events:
- Click the Settings icon (gear) in the BlueStacks toolbar.
- Go to Performance settings.
- Set:
- CPU: 4 cores (or more if available)
- RAM: 4 GB minimum; 6–8 GB for heavy event sessions
- Frame rate: 60 FPS
- Graphics: Medium (start here; upgrade to High if no lag)
- In Display settings:
- Resolution: 1280×720 or 1920×1080
- DPI: 240 (matches most mobile game UI layouts)
Running Multiple Accounts (Multi-Instance)
State of Survival players often run multiple accounts — a main and a farm account — to accelerate progress.
How to run two accounts at once:
- Open BlueStacks Multi-Instance Manager (icon on the taskbar or under the three-dot menu).
- Click + New Instance → Fresh Instance.
- Sign into a different Google account in the new instance.
- Install State of Survival in the new instance the same way as Step 3.
Both instances run side by side. You can use Multi-Instance Sync to mirror taps from one instance to the other — useful for running identical resource collection routines on multiple accounts simultaneously.
Using Macros for Automation
BlueStacks Macros can automate repetitive actions in State of Survival.
Common macro use cases:
- Resource collection: Record yourself tapping all the resource buildings, then replay it every few hours.
- Speedup burning during events: Record the sequence of opening speedup menus and clicking confirm.
- Daily check-in: Record the sequence for claiming daily login rewards.
How to record a macro:
- Click the Macro icon in the BlueStacks toolbar (looks like a play button with a dot).
- Click Record.
- Perform the actions you want to automate.
- Click Stop Recording.
- Name and save the macro.
- To replay: open the Macro Manager and click Play.
You can also set macros to repeat on a schedule using the Script editor for more advanced automation.
Common Issues and Fixes
Game crashes on startup or loading screen:
- Close and relaunch BlueStacks.
- Clear the game data: BlueStacks Settings → App Management → State of Survival → Clear Data.
- If it persists, reinstall the game (uninstall from BlueStacks, reinstall from Play Store).
Game works but progress doesn't transfer from mobile:
- Make sure you're signed in to the exact same Google account that was linked on mobile.
- In-game, go to Settings → Account → Link to confirm which account was active on mobile.
- FunPlus's servers sometimes take 5–10 minutes to sync after a fresh login.
Graphics look blurry or pixelated:
- In BlueStacks Settings → Display → raise DPI to 240 or 320.
- In-game graphics settings: the game has its own graphics quality slider (Settings → Graphics). Set it to High if your PC can handle it.
Touch input feels delayed or inaccurate:
- In BlueStacks Settings → Performance, increase CPU allocation.
- Close other applications running on your PC.
Alliance events lag or frame drop:
- During large alliance battles, the game renders many animated objects simultaneously. Reduce in-game graphics quality temporarily for events.
- Allocate more RAM to BlueStacks during event windows (8 GB recommended).
Tips for PC Players
Use the larger screen strategically:
- State of Survival's world map is much easier to navigate on a full PC display. Use it to scout rally targets, coordinate troop movements, and plan territory expansion.
Type faster in alliance chat:
- Chat is a huge part of alliance coordination. Typing on a keyboard versus a phone keyboard is dramatically faster — this alone is worth playing on PC for alliance-heavy players.
Resource farms are easier to manage:
- If you run farm accounts, the multi-instance setup makes managing multiple bases on different servers practical in a way that's nearly impossible on separate phones.
Don't use BlueStacks Macros in event battles:
- FunPlus has anti-bot detection. Using macros during active kill events or alliance wars risks account flagging. Macros are safer for idle resource collection and daily logins.
