What is Google Play Games?
Google Play Games is a PC application that allows you to access Android mobile games on Windows computers and laptops. For now, it is still in its beta phase and not available for Mac.
Google Play Games benefits include:
- Have access to mobile and tablet games on the PC;
- Play keyboard and mouse;
- Sync your match across different devices;
- Integrate your points into Google Play Points. That way, you earn points on all things, including in-app items and subscriptions, and you can redeem them wherever you want.
The company's idea was not to offer just a catalog of games, it also invested in optimizing these games for developers to run smoothly on Windows and also checked the security of these files to protect users' devices.
