Google Play is getting a power-up for its games.
Google’s app store service is revamping how it looks at games while adding new tools for developers to earn more and analyze its performance, the company announced on Monday during its Developer Day event .
Gaming on devices powered by Google’s Android mobile software boomed internationally in 2016, with the help of Pokemon Go and Clash Royale. Last year, up to 300 million new users on Android played games in countries like Brazil, India and Indonesia. Google is looking to put the spotlight on hidden gems with its latest update, expected to arrive soon.
When people head to Google Play, the games will be organized by engagement instead of downloads, meaning that less-popular games could have their time to shine.
