The beta testing period for Google Play Store games operating on Windows 11 has officially begun. For the time being, cross-play is only available to a few people in a few regions.
Google hasn’t said how it wants to provide cross-play functionality, save that it will necessitate the installation of a Play Store app on a PC.
A ‘Download on Windows’ button appears on the desktop version of Google Play for some customers who were allowed to test the feature, and clicking it downloads an executable file for Windows 11.
Currently, the beta is only available in South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Users outside of that zone, however, claim to be able to use the games feature as well.
The development process appears to be proceeding quickly, and customers will soon be able to play their favorite Android games on their computers.
The Play Store listing also mentions the Windows OS and prerequisites. Windows 8 or above must be installed on a PC with an Intel i5 processor (3.0GHz), 8 GB RAM, 4 GB VRAM, a Geforce GTX9xx series GPU or higher, and at least 10GB storage.
Google has previously requested that game creators optimize their games so that they can be played with a keyboard and mouse rather than touch inputs.
