Few emulators have had as many names as NetEase's. People still search for MuMu Player X, MuMu Player 12 download and MuMu Player 9, while the current app is version 6.x. This explainer lays out how the versions relate so you know what you're actually installing.
Android-Version Names: "MuMu Player 9"
Earlier on, NetEase labelled editions by their Android base. Its official blog announced an Android 9 edition, and noted that a computer supporting only 32-bit couldn't install the Android 64-bit version. So "MuMu Player 9" generally means that older Android 9 edition, not a ninth release of the app.
MuMu Player 11 and MuMu Player X
NetEase's release notes list MuMu Player 11 builds numbered 11.0.0.x in 2022, followed by MuMu Player X with 12.x version numbers through early 2023. MuMu Player X introduced multi-drive (several emulators at once), a native controller mode and the ability to run with Hyper-V enabled. Because its builds started with 12, many people call it "MuMu Player 12".
The Reset: MuMuPlayer 3.x to 5.x
In November 2023, V3.6.3 arrived with a brand-new interface, an Android 12 kernel, faster startup and support for high frame rates. Version numbers restarted from 3, which is why a newer app suddenly had a smaller number than MuMu Player X. The 4.x and 5.x releases through 2025 and early 2026 added dark mode, ADB port display, new languages, virtual location and, in June 2026, a 480 FPS limit.
MuMuPlayer 6.0: Android 15
NetEase launched MuMuPlayer 6.0 in July 2026 with Android 15 support, describing it as able to run Android 12 and Android 15 instances separately. The 6.x line has since added Private Space, GPU selection and mobile-app remote control. As of our last check, the current Windows build is V6.8.0 from September 23, 2026.
