If you have a Samsung Galaxy Book laptop or any other Windows OS PC, then there is a piece of good news for you from the house of Google. As per 9To5Google, Google has just announced that it is expanding Play Games for PC as an open beta. This means more users will get a chance to experience the new platform where they can play Android games on their Windows 10 or Windows 11 PCs.
Also, Google has lowered the Windows system requirements and has added more games for users to play. Google Play Games for PC was unveiled last year that lets users enjoy and play Android games on a Windows 11 or 10 PC. Earlier, it was launched in a closed beta, making it available only to a handful of users in a handful of regions. Moreover, it required the user to have a high-powered gaming PC to have access to play games on it.
However, now, Google has lowered the specs requirement and basically loosening the strings on a few requirements. This will make playing Android games on a Windows PC easier. Apparently, from now on, there will be no waitlist to join the beta program for Play Games for PC. This means that if you reside in supported regions, which include Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, you can sign up immediately. You need to visit this website in order to do so if you meet the requirements.
Integrated GPUs are also now supported, which will attract more gamers to Play Games
When Google launched Play Games, at that time, only 12 games were playable, which were confirmed via promotional artwork. Google has now expanded the games list and Play Games now supports over 50 different Android games from different genres that can be synced between your favorite devices. Additionally, Google has revamped the app's design since the last time.
The app now has a left-side navigation rail instead of a top bar, with Material You design elements. As far as the Windows PC requirements are concerned, now you do not need to have a gaming-ready GPU from Nvidia or AMD, because integrated GPUs are also fully supported, opening the door to quite a few more gamers.
