In BlueStacks 5, enable Display FPS during gameplay from Settings > Performance, save the change, and restart BlueStacks if prompted. The counter shows rendered frames, not ping or the game’s server health.
Open BlueStacks 5 and select the gear icon in the side toolbar. Select Performance and note the current frame-rate and display settings before changing them.
Turn on Display FPS during gameplay. Leave unrelated graphics and device-profile controls unchanged until you have confirmed that the counter is visible.
3
Choose a sustainable frame rate
Use a frame-rate setting the PC and game can sustain. A larger number is not automatically smoother when the instance is CPU-, GPU-, or network-limited.
4
Save the change
Select Save changes. Restart BlueStacks when it requests a restart so the Performance settings are applied cleanly.
5
Open the game and read the counter
Start the Android game, enter gameplay, and look for the FPS number. Compare it during the same activity instead of a loading screen.
6
Verify the result
Confirm the counter remains after a second launch. If it is missing, record the BlueStacks version, instance, game, and Performance settings before using BlueStacks Support.
