Google launched a beta program that lets users play Android games on PC in 2022. Since then, the program has gradually expanded to include thousands of titles. Now, a new update will let users run most Android games on Windows, while also providing more options. The program is expected to officially exit beta later this year.
Almost every Android game can be played on PC
The beta program will soon be an optional option for developers, allowing users to test most mobile games on laptops and desktops. In particular, Google is also aiming to develop a number of PC titles that can be played on Android devices.
Developers initially expressed concerns about compatibility with mice, keyboards, and AMD processors, so they voluntarily joined the Google Play Games program. Unlike Microsoft's failed attempt to bring Android apps to Windows 11 via the Android App Store, Google's program also supports Windows 10.
After the update later this month, beta testers will be free to play any Android game unless the developer explicitly prohibits it. A new customization menu will let users swap keyboard and mouse controls for the game's native touchscreen controls. Users will also be able to play on multiple accounts at once.

Google will clearly note PC compatibility of Android games
To help users find compatible games, Google will label games according to how well they support the PC interface. The system will have categories like “optimized” and “playable,” similar to Valve’s Steam Deck verification program. Users will only be able to run titles labeled “untested” through a specific search.
Any computer with at least 8GB of RAM, a quad-core CPU, 10GB of storage, and hardware virtualization support can participate in the beta program. Initially, the program only supported Intel CPUs for most games, but Google has since added full support for AMD processors.
Additionally, Google is also working with PC manufacturers to offer devices with the Google Play Games launcher pre-installed later this year, which could coincide with the program's end of beta. Around 50 PC games will also be playable on Android devices via Google Play Games, with this month's update expanding the list to include titles like Dredge, TABS, and a remake of Disco Elysium aimed at TikTok users with a new vertical display format.
