Google stunned everyone in December when it announced that it was developing an official way to play Android games on Windows PCs. The new Google Play Games desktop application went into restricted beta testing in January, and the corporation is now ready for gamers to try it out.
Google officially confirmed on Tuesday that the Google Play Games for PC Beta is now available in South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It is, as previously said, a separate Windows PC program developed by Google for downloading and playing Android games from the Play Store.
More information is expected to be released during the upcoming ‘Google for Games Developer Summit,’ but there are already videos and photographs of the app in action from gamers in South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Only a few games are now available, with no opportunity to search for more – Google probably wants to ensure that the desktop program works with a smaller variety initially. There is also no possibility to download non-game software. The primary file is apparently labeled “crosvm.exe,” which appears to indicate that it is based on Google’s official virtual machine for Chrome OS.
Google Play Games for PC Beta minimum system requirements and other discussions
Google previously released the Play Games for PC’s minimum system requirements, which include Windows 10 v2004 or later, an SSD, 20GB of available storage space, a “gaming-class GPU” (here are all the supported options), 8 logical GPU cores, 8GB RAM, a Windows admin account, and hardware virtualization (hypervisor/HAXM) enabled. According to Google, AMD PCs with less than 1GB VRAM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops are incompatible. (Via – XDA)

It is unclear when Google will make the program available to the rest of the world. PCs running Windows 11 may also use the new Windows Subsystem for Android to run Android programs and games, and the Google Play Store can be sideloaded with the use of third-party programs. Other Android emulators for games, such as Bluestacks, have been available for a long time.
