Google expands it PC gaming platform to support ALL Android games and more PC games

Enthusiasts have sought to connect Android gaming with Windows PCs, gaining momentum since Google launched Google Play Games for Windows in 2022. The platform initially had a limited selection of Android games but has expanded to thousands of titles and now supports native PC games. Google announced that all mobile games will be available on PC by default, though developers can opt out, potentially leaving some popular games unavailable. To address compatibility, Google is implementing “playability badges” to indicate whether games are optimized for PC or simply playable. New features include support for custom controls, a game sidebar for adjustments, and multi-account capabilities. Google is collaborating with PC manufacturers to preload Google Play Games on select devices, while the platform remains in beta. Additionally, Google Play for PC is enhancing support for native games through a new SDK for developers.
