Get the Most Out of Google Play Games by Playing on PC
You may have heard of Google Play Games, but you’re not sure what it’s all about or why you should care. After all, Android games are meant to be played on Android devices, right? Not necessarily. If you love playing games on your phone, there are several reasons you may want to also play those same games on your PC—and Google Play Games makes it easy to make that happen. Here’s how it works and why it’s an option you should consider using regularly!
What is Google Play Games?
Google Play Games is a PC application where you can browse, download, and play select mobile games on your computer. It has all of the functionality of an Android phone app but with added features such as being able to use a mouse and keyboard instead of your finger or touchscreen. Currently it’s only available for Windows machines but there are plans to release it for Macs soon.
