PC gaming is a competitive market, and the list of major players has only shrunken with Microsoft's pending purchase of Activision. Despite this, Google Play Games, Android's mobile gaming hub, has ventured into the PC domain, letting users indulge in mobile games on Windows 10 and 11 computers. Support has been sporadic to start, but more games are constantly being added, and the platform has just reached a major milestone.
As Google cheerfully boasted about on its blog, Google Play Games Beta on PC now includes access to over 3,000 mobile games, with the likes of Clash of Clans and Clash Royale joining the list this week. With this move, Supercell's renowned titles are making their maiden appearance on PC. Plus, gamers can effortlessly sync their progress across gadgets, ensuring a fluid shift between mobile and PC play.
But the enhancements aren't limited to game titles. The platform has also upped its visual game — Google Play Games on PC now embraces 4K screen resolution for monitors that support it, ensuring visually rich games shine. Paired with the flexibility to cherry-pick screen resolutions, players are in for a customized gaming treat.
Additionally, this week's big update welcomes game controller compatibility. Gamers can now tether their Xbox S, Xbox X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 DualSense, or PlayStation 4 DualShock controllers for a richer feel with supported games. As for which games in particular play nicely with console controllers, Google only mentioned Asphalt 9: Legends and BADLAND. Still, even limited support for some of the biggest names in the controller space is a major quality of life improvement for the platform.
Heeding to user suggestions, Google has also integrated a handy search feature, making it a lot easier to quickly pinpoint your game of choice. Nestled atop the "All Games" section, this search utility is designed for efficiency.
Though Google Play Games for PC is in its nascent beta stage, Google has done an excellent job so far at listening to and implementing user feedback, and while its catalog might not overshadow other PC gaming giants yet, it does an admirable job serving a niche for those eyeing mobile games on bigger screens, all while accumulating Google Play Points.
The gaming community's reception to Google Play Games on PC has been mixed but generally optimistic. While some purists remain attached to traditional PC gaming platforms, others appreciate the fusion of mobile and PC gaming experiences. Bringing well-liked mobile games to the PC platform offers fresh opportunities, especially for those who haven't delved much into mobile gaming. As the lines between gaming platforms become less distinct, it's clear that gaming's future shouldn't be focused on any singular form factor.
