During the Game Awards 2021, Google revealed that Google Play Games was coming to a PC near you soon.

It seems that plans to launch the platform are moving along as Google Play Games for PC is now available as a beta test so long as you happen to be in Hong Kong, South Korea or Taiwan.

According to The Verge, those who signup can play games such as Mobile Legends, Summoners War, State of Survival and Three Kingdoms Tactics.

One of the more interesting features Google is touting with this implementation with the Play Store is the ability to pick up your games and continue them where ever you are. While cloud gaming has been able to accomplish this for sometime now, it’s interesting as regards mobile gaming specifically because of an announcement earlier this week.

Samsung revealed its Exynos 2200 SoC this week with a special inclusion – Xclipse graphics which make use of AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture. Samsung claimed these graphics were somewhere between existing mobile phones and consoles which is rather exciting.

Could we see a situation where one could play a AAA game on PC and then switch over to your mobile phone without needing a hungry data connection to the cloud? Perhaps. We don’t know what the next decade will bring in mobile compute power but Google Play for PC and Samsung’s new tech has our head brimming with possibilities.

Of course, games need developers and Google has opened up the Google Play Games Beta developer site here for those who want to start taking advantage of Google’s cross platform play.

We do still have many questions about Google Play Games for PCs such as whether this will impact Stadia. Perhaps more important is how Google is running its apps on Windows when even Microsoft is struggling to ship a similar feature for Windows 11.

We’re sure these questions and more will be answered in due course.
