The biggest problem is that the emulator is sluggish enough that you won’t want to make a habit of running apps in it. It’s great for testing app builds before loading them onto test devices. The way apps render in the emulator will be the same as they render on devices, and almost everything should run. The other advantage would be buying games on a single platform, and getting to play them on a large screen, it is easier on the eyes, especially for text-heavy games.The big upside here is that the emulator is unmodified Android right from the source. Playing games with a mouse and keyboard should offer a significantly better experience for those who find gaming on touchscreen devices to be tedious. Google's target audience however will probably appreciate it more.
I'm more interested to see whether it will allow users to sideload apps via APKs. As a PC/PS4 gamer, I care little about mobile games except for a few quality gems. Hopefully, this will evolve into support for Android apps. It's nice to see that Windows 10 will be supported by Google Play Games. Surely that market has its own value, albeit to a niche audience, which in turn gives it and OEMs an opportunity to cash in. This is a bit odd, but perhaps Google didn't want to go all the way with Android app support like it does with Chromebooks. The key difference between running Android apps on Windows 11, and Google Play Games' Windows 10/11 support, is that the latter seems to be exclusive to games. Why else would they specifically mention Windows 10 and 11 if it is a web-based solution? The wording in the report doesn't seem to suggest this, so my money is on a proper desktop tool. That is, unless Google decides to go the Stadia way for streaming the games. Since it will need to run the games, it is very likely going to include an Android emulator. It will allow gamers to access their content simultaneously across Android Phones and Tablets, Chromebooks, and of course, Windows computers.įrom what I can understand, it's probably going to be a desktop client that allows you to browse the Google Play Store, to download and purchase the Android games. The blog post refers to an application that has been designed based on feedback from Google's community and developers. Windows Central reports that Google's technology is standalone, unlike Microsoft's Android emulation that depends on the Amazon Appstore.
Google did not share screenshots or videos about it. Unfortunately, that is the extent of what we know about the new platform.
