Google is now rolling out the Google Play Games for PC beta – a service that lets you play Android games on Windows – for users in Europe and New Zealand. The company officially announced the annual Google for Game Developers Summit in March.
The company first introduced the program in 2022 and is available in more than 50 countries around the world. The current phase of the rollout includes New Zealand and over 40 European countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and the UK. Prior to this, the project was available to players in 13 countries, including Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and the United States.
Google Play Games on PC requires users to be running Windows 10 on a PC with 4 CPU physical cores, 10 GB of free storage on a solid-state drive (SSD), an Intel UHD Graphics 630 GPU or comparable, and 8 GB of RAM . Notably, the program is still in beta, so these requirements may change over time.
Google currently has over 100 titles under its Google Play Games on PC program, with more added every month. In March, the company also launched an emulator for developers to easily debug games. The company also offers integration with Android Studio for game makers to make adjustments and deploy their games.
