Quick answer: You don't need an APK to play Geometry Dash on PC. The official PC version is on Steam for $4.99 (US price) and runs on Windows and macOS. It was released on December 22, 2014, gets the same updates as mobile (currently 2.2091) and has a Very Positive rating from more than 307,000 Steam reviews.
Can You Use the Geometry Dash APK on PC?
An APK file is built for Android, so Windows and macOS can't open it directly. You have two choices:
- Buy the Steam version – the native PC game with keyboard and mouse support, Steam achievements and the best performance. This is what we recommend.
- Use an Android emulator – programs that run Android apps on Windows. You would still need to buy the game in Google Play inside the emulator, and performance and input timing are usually worse than the Steam version.
