A first version of Google’s Android game store is coming to Windows 10 and Windows 11. Google has just opened the Play Games beta for certain regions of the world, with an official release planned for later this year.
A little over a month after announcing the upcoming arrival of its Android video game store on Windows , Google has just started its beta test program in several regions.
The Mountain View firm has put a dedicated site online for the occasion to join the Play Games beta. For now, only Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea are eligible.
The official arrival of Android games on Windows is rather good news. It will allow mobile gamers to enjoy their favorite titles on the big screen of their PC with significantly better performance thanks to the power of their machine, and with the possibility of using keyboard and mouse to play. Google promises perfect synchronization of saves between different devices, whether you play on mobile, tablet or PC.
