Back in 2021, Google told the world that it plans to make Android games playable on Windows. This wasn’t surprising, as rumors and talks about it have been circulating around the interweb for years.
At the beginning of this year the first beta of the Play Games for Windows arrived in selected countries - more specifically Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea. And now it seems that the beta test was indeed successful, because Google has announced that it’s bringing the service to more countries around the world.
These eight countries are the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore. Which is great news, especially for the folks in the US who want to be able to play their favorite Android games while on their PCs.
