There is no official Black Russia PC version yet. As of October 21, 2026, BLACK RUSSIA is released only for Android and iOS, and the official site offers no computer download. The developers confirm a Windows client with its own launcher is in development, but there is no release date and no final system requirements. Until then, the only way to play on a computer or laptop is the Android app in an emulator, which the official knowledge base allows but does not guarantee.
This page is based on the official Telegram and developer lab channels, the developers' September 25, 2026 video about the PC version (we went through its Russian captions), the official knowledge base, the server rules and the store listings, all checked on October 21, 2026. Everything about the PC client is a plan in development and can change, so check the updates page before trusting any date.
01
Is Black Russia out on PC?
No. Searches like "black russia вышла на пк" or "блек раша на пк есть" have one answer as of October 2026: no released PC client, no open PC test and no official PC download. Rule 1.01 of the server rules still describes BLACK RUSSIA as a project for Android and iOS devices, the official forum's title still reads "Black Russia (CRMP ANDROID)", and the official start page offers only Google Play, the App Store, RuStore and a direct Android APK. No PC "CRMP" build shared under the Black Russia name is official.
How the PC version has been announced:
| Date | Official post | What it said |
|---|---|---|
| May 26, 2026 | Developer lab Telegram | PC version in preparation as an addition to mobile: same account, character and server, no lost progress; first footage |
| Sep 25, 2026 | Official YouTube video «Инсайды разработки ПК-версии BLACK RUSSIA!» | Answers to the most popular player questions, new footage |
| Sep 26, 2026 | Main Telegram channel | Shared the video, promised more PC posts |

What the developers said about the PC version
In the September 2026 video, team members answered player questions:
| Topic | What the developers said |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows only; no Linux or Mac version planned for now |
| Installation | A separate launcher from the official site that installs and updates the game |
| Account and progress | Existing accounts and progress carry over |
| Servers | PC and mobile players will most likely share the same servers |
| Exclusive content | None for PC players |
| Controls at launch | Keyboard and mouse only, with rebindable keys; no gamepad or steering wheel at launch (possible later if players ask) |
| Graphics | New dynamic lighting (PC-only for now), better textures and models, much longer draw distance |
| Graphics settings | Switchable texture and model quality is planned, but not at release |
| Cheating | A separate team works on protection against cheat software |
None of this is final; more PC posts are promised in the developer lab in the coming months.
03
When will Black Russia come out on PC?
There is no release date. In the video, the developers said they could not name one yet. Their plan is a test with a large number of players in 2026 and, if it goes well, a release the following year, after checking the game on different PC configurations. Treat that as a goal, not a promise: anyone giving an exact release date is guessing.
To catch the announcement, follow Telegram br_dev, the developer lab and the official YouTube channel.
04
Black Russia PC system requirements
The PC system requirements (системные требования) have not been published. In the video, the developers said (going by its auto-generated Russian captions) that they are aiming at a GTX 1050 graphics card, but final requirements will come only after optimization and testing. They also want the game to run on weak computers that are 10 to 15 years old.
Official minimums for what you can install today:
| Device | Minimum (as of October 21, 2026) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Android phone or tablet | Android 7.0 or newer | Official knowledge base |
| iPhone or iPad | iOS 15.0 or later; download about 1.22 GB | App Store listing (the knowledge base still says iOS 13, which is outdated) |
| Windows PC | No official client; Android app in an emulator only | Official knowledge base |
| Mac | No official client, none planned for now | September 2026 developer video |

How to play Black Russia on PC today with an emulator
An emulator is a desktop program that runs Android apps. The official knowledge base article «Можно ли играть через эмулятор?» says using one is not against the rules, but warns it can slow the game down or cause other technical problems, and that correct work is not guaranteed. A laptop (ноутбук) works the same way as a desktop.
- Install a well-known Android emulator from its own developer's website, not a "Black Russia" bundle from a download site.
- In the emulator, open Google Play or RuStore and install BLACK RUSSIA from the official listing (see our download page).
- Open the app. It is a launcher: it downloads the game files, then shows the main screen.
- Log in with the account you use on your phone, or register, and pick your server. New players can follow the beginner guide.
- Set up keyboard controls in the emulator's key-mapping tool.
Mind rule 2.22: it bans third-party software or other tools that give an advantage over other players, explicitly including macros "в том числе с эмуляторов" (including from emulators), with a 15 to 30 day ban or a PermBan. So no recorded macros, auto-clickers or scripts. The same rule bans changes to the original game files; only the font, its size and the chat length may be changed, and an FPS counter is not punished. See our rules guide.
If the game crashes in an emulator (вылетает на эмуляторе), there is no official fix, since the knowledge base already says it may not work correctly there. A supported phone is the reliable option. For other problems, use the support chat on the official site or the support bot t.me/br_techBot.

Can you play without an emulator? Fake PC launchers
Playing "на пк без эмулятора" is not possible today. The only planned way is the official PC launcher, which the developers said will come from the official site, and it is not out yet.
So every "Black Russia PC launcher", "лаунчер на пк" or "без эмулятора" download on other sites, file hosts or in video descriptions is unofficial. Such files can carry malware or be built to steal your account. Watch out for:
- Programs asking for your game password, PIN or email confirmation code. The knowledge base says never to share that code, and rule 4.03 treats giving your password or PIN to third parties as an account transfer, punished with a PermBan.
- Modified clients and "PC builds". Rule 2.22 bans advantage-giving software and changes to game files.
- Lost items. Rule 4.02 says the administration is not responsible for property lost through hacking or fraud.
Until the real one is announced, get the game only from the stores or the official site.
07
Black Russia on Mac and MacBook
In the September 2026 video, the developers said the PC game will be Windows-only and that Mac and Linux versions are not planned for now. For "black russia на мак" or "скачать на макбук", the realistic option today is the Android app in an emulator that runs on macOS, with the same knowledge base warning. We could not confirm whether the iPhone app installs on a Mac, so do not count on it.
