The Verge has details on an announcement from The Game Awards that Google
will launch the ability to play Android games on Windows next year. This gives
us time to figure out how to fit our PCs into pockets. Here's a word on the
plan:
“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.”
Google spokesperson Alex Garcia-Kummert tells The Verge that the company has
built this app on its own, which means Google hasn’t partnered with Microsoft,
BlueStacks, or others here. The upcoming app will also allow players to resume
games on a desktop PC, after playing them on a phone, tablet, or
Chromebook.
