Google Play Games on PC lets users play mobile games on Windows computers with keyboard and mouse controls and improved graphics. Google describes the catalog as containing over 200,000 games across mobile and PC. For selected games on compatible devices, players can sync their library and progress between mobile and PC; some paid titles use one purchase to unlock both versions. A shared gamer profile can track stats, streaks, progress, and achievements, while Google Play Points and rewards can be used for discounts and in-game items. Play Games Sidekick with Gemini Live can show stats, achievements, and tips, and offer conversational guidance while a downloaded Play game is running. The software is free, though games and in-game items may cost extra. A PC needs Windows 10 version 2004, an SSD with 10 GB available, 8 GB RAM, four physical CPU cores, compatible graphics, an administrator account, and hardware virtualization. Availability is limited to supported regions and a personal Google Account set to one of them. Only the first installer on a PC can play games there.
