Here’s a step by step guide on how to play F/GO on your PC. I made this as newb friendly as I could so bear with me. If you have an outdated computer the emulator will run worse.
What you need: A Facebook account. Make a fake one if you don’t have one.
Open QooApp, search Fate Grand Order and click download.
Now it’s going to prompt you to sign onto Google Play or Facebook, Facebook is easier because you don’t have to download Google Play service, as I said before just make a fake FB account.
Right now I’m writing this guide at GMT+1 10am, F/GO server’s hasn’t opened yet so I have no idea how smoothly it’ll run, if people still have troubles understanding the guide I will just make a video guide for it. I will try to help you out with troubleshooting, but I might not be able to help you with some errors. I’m away all day today so I won’t be able to reach you until GMT+1 19:00
For those who may have minor quibbles with Genymotion (I tried it earlier once and frankly it did not agree with me), other Android emulators exist. Andyroid and Bluestacks are also viable alternatives, although I personally use Droid4X (to play Brave Frontier JP, and Chain Chronicle - I will be downloading F/GO through Qoo and testing soon)
What do we folks who are unable to read the game in its original language do? Just want to be able to enjoy it without clicking around like a blind man.
I removed the apk link/guide, the reason being is that I’m going to assume this game will have constant updates, and downloading an APK file like that will not update by itself.

Thank you so much for this installation guide. Got the game working, did a few battles, and I’m really liking it so far. I just wish I could read Japanese so I can understand what the hell is going on. Seems like it has a fairly robust story.
Has anyone had a problem where the app opens and then crashes immediately? It could be because I’m using VirtualBox instead of something else, I just had VirtualBox lying around so I figured I’d set it up on that. Just wanted to check if anyone else had this problem.
And you dont need QooApp for it (Any generic APK Downloader works too… since its a Free2Play)
I’ve been using Custom Phone 4.4 for my emulation needs, but it doesnt seem to want to run Fate/Grand Order (It stays in login screen for a long period of time.). (I grabbed 5.0 instead, it worked.)
Where is the settings options? After I launch the virtual device, all I got is a black screen and the android logo with a bunch of button which do nothing when I click them, even home and menu
