Google Play for PC Beta brings your android games to the big screen

pcgamer.com:

Here at PC Gamer we tend to like playing games on PC. Many of us are open minded enough to find fun in other places, like on consoles and the likes, but we still like our PCs. We like our PCs so much we get excited when we can play non PC games on them. Every time Sony decides to release something like God of War(opens in new tab), or Spider-Man(opens in new tab) on our beloved platform we go nuts with celebratory mods(opens in new tab).

These huge ultra impressive games(opens in new tab) finally coming to PC is always cause for excitement, but what about potentially hundreds of little ones? As of today, Google has officially launched its Google Play Games for PC beta across Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. This means that users with Google Play accounts from those regions, will be able check out some Android gaming titles on their PC.

The application can be downloaded straight from Google's site,(opens in new tab) and there may even be a prompt for it at the bottom of your welcome screen when loading your browser. Installing the app gives you access to browse, download, and play the mobile games on offer. Right now Google is boasting over 40 games are available on the platform, which is a fair start for a beta offering.

Looking through the games there's not much there that peaks my interest, as someone who's not really into mobile gaming. Potentially more intensive games like Genshin Impact with it's huge character list(opens in new tab) are nowhere to be seen yet, but given Android still doesn't have controller support that's not too surprising. Instead, the catalogue contains mostly established mobile titles like Idle Heroes, Cookie Run, and those cursed looking Garden and Homescapes games.
