Next year, Google plans to bring Android games to Windows PCs. In 2022, Google will release a Google Play Games app that will allow Google Play games to operate on Windows laptops, tablets, and PCs.
“Starting in 2022, players will be able to experience their favorite Google Play games on more devices: seamlessly switching between a phone, tablet, Chromebook, and soon, Windows PCs,” says Greg Hartrell, Google’s product director of games on Android and Google Play, in a statement to The Verge.
“This Google built product brings the best of Google Play Games to more laptops and desktops, and we are thrilled to expand our platform for players to enjoy their favorite Android games even more.”
According to Google spokeswoman Alex Garcia-Kummert, the firm produced this app on its own, which means the company didn’t work with Microsoft, BlueStacks, or anyone else on this.
Players will be able to restart games on a desktop PC after playing them on a phone, tablet, or Chromebook with the new app.
For the time being, Google is only teasing the app during tonight’s Game Awards, with a projected release date of next year.
Google hasn’t revealed what technology it’s employing to imitate Android apps on Windows, but games will run locally rather than streaming from the cloud.
