Summary

Google Play Games on PC lets users play mobile games on Windows computers with keyboard and mouse controls and improved graphics. Google describes its catalog as containing over 200,000 games across mobile and PC. In select games on compatible devices, players can sync their library and progress between mobile and PC; some paid titles use a single purchase to unlock both versions. A gamer profile shared across mobile and PC can track stats, streaks, progress and achievements. Players can earn Google Play Points and use points and rewards for discounts and in-game items. Play Games Sidekick with Gemini Live can show stats, achievements and tips, and offer conversational guidance while playing games downloaded from Play. The software is free to use, though games or in-game items may cost extra. A PC needs Windows 10 version 2004, an SSD with 10 GB available, 8 GB RAM, four physical CPU cores, compatible graphics, an administrator account and hardware virtualization. Availability is limited to supported regions and requires a personal Google Account set to one of them. Only the first installer can open and play games on that PC.
