Google announces that it will soon be possible to play games from the Playstore on the PC without any hassle.
One of the announced new features of Windows 11 will be the ability to play smartphone games on the PC, but now Google is pushing ahead: At the Game Awards 2021 , the company announced that from 2022 it will be possible to play games from the Playstore to be able to play on the PC - even if you don't have Windows 11!
Play games across platforms
spokesman The Verge that the company developed this app itself, which means that Google has not entered into a partnership with Microsoft, BlueStacks or others. The upcoming app will also allow players to resume games on a desktop PC after playing them on a phone, tablet or Chromebook.
“Starting in 2022, players will be able to experience their favorite Google Play games on more devices: seamlessly switching between phones, tablets, Chromebooks and, soon, Windows PCs. This Google-developed product brings the best of Google Play Games to more laptops and desktops, and we're excited to expand our platform to help gamers enjoy their favorite Android games even more.”
said Greg Hartrell, Google's product director for games on Android and Google Play.
Date and technology still unclear
Unfortunately, all that remained was an announcement, but it is unclear when exactly this app will appear next year. The only thing that is certain is that it will be an app that will be distributed by Google itself and that the games will be installed directly on the PC, i.e. not streamed from the cloud.
Greg Hartrell also clarified that there is no connection with Microsoft's announced Windows 11 feature: the Google app will also work on Windows 10. Another advantage: Microsoft cooperates with Amazon , which probably means that only games from the Amazon store run on the PC, while the Google Playstore has a much larger selection.
