In a surprising move, Google has announced that Android games will be coming to Windows in 2022.
The Game Awards, hosted by Geoff Keighley, wrapped up last night, and it came with a fair share of surprises. Google was one of many companies to appear, announcing that Android apps from the Google Play Games store are coming to both Windows 11 and Windows 10 in 2022. This is an effort being made by Google itself. While Microsoft has an agreement with Amazon to host Android apps from the Amazon App Store on the redesigned Microsoft Store in Windows 11, this is a different approach from Google. This will be its own app, enabling users with a Google Play account to download their Android games without having to purchase them again. They can also resume where they left off in a game on their Windows device. Google was light on the details during The Game Awards, but the company did explain to The Verge that this will be available in Windows 10 and above. If you’re playing a game on your Pixel 6 Pro for example, and you decide to switch to your Windows device, you can carry on your progress through this new app from Google.
