Google’s finally bringing attention to Play Games on PC

Google has been testing Google Play Games on Windows PCs since last year. It’s just that no one really knows about it. We can’t deny that the company has been pretty hush-hush about the subject. However, that’s finally changed, as Google is finally pushing Play Games on PC, according to a new report.

As stated, the company has been testing this since last year. Back in November 2022, the company released a launcher that could let you download, install, and play games from the Google Play store. You won’t have access to all of the games. Google partnered with developers to have them optimize their apps to use mouse and keyboard. So, you can play these games just like most other PC titles.

Google is finally pushing Play Games for PC

Of course, people in the tech world would know more about this, but the average Joe wouldn’t really know about it. So, Google is finally fixing this by pushing Play Games for PC more. You’ll notice this if you load up the Google Play Store site on your Windows computer.

Normally, you’d see the typical content like the best games and recommendations. However, if you access the Play Store, you’ll see a large landing page dedicated to the beta.

The first thing you see will be a pair of large banners with a featured game that you can get on your PC. They simply read “[Game title], now available on PC” with the text “Google Play Games PC”. Under that, you’ll see a grid of other apps that you can install on your computer.

However, Google might be testing multiple versions of the feed on different people because there’s also an entirely different layout. Another layout we see has banners alternating between carousels.

We’ll see the first banner with a carousel right under it. It’s then followed by another banner, carousel, and final banner. It’s possible that Google is testing two layouts on different parts of its testing base. The company might pick the preferred option and run with that for the public release. That’s just speculation, however.

In any case, it’s nice to see that Google is pushing Play Games for PC more. We’re not sure when the company is going to move this to a stable release, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
