Have you been longing to play your favorite Android games from Google Play Store on Windows? It is finally possible, at least if you reside in the United States, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and/or Singapore. If you live somewhere else, you can always create a brand new Google account in one of these countries and use a VPN to bypass the regulations. Or you can wait. But, if you decide to give it a try, which games are included in the beta? Which games are available?
In order to try Google Play Games for Windows, you need to meet the following system requirements.
Minimum Requirements
- Windows 10 (v2004)
- Solid state drive (SSD)
- IntelⓇ UHD Graphics 630 GPU or comparable
- 4 CPU Physical cores
- 8 GB of RAM
- 10 GB of available storage space
- Windows admin account
- Hardware virtualization (must be enabled)
- Compatible PC device and configuration
The hardware virtualization might cause trouble for some, but this is important as you are almost running a virtual machine on your computer, made for Android games. If your CPU or motherboard doesn’t support virtualization, it is game over for you, even if you live in one of the countries mentioned above.

I have listed them in alphabetical order to make it easier to find out if your favorite game is supported or not. Personally, some of my favorites are Brawl Stars and Stumble Guys, but as you probably noticed already, you can not play Stumble Guys or Brawl Stars in the Google Play Games beta for Windows (yet). But, I guess when it will be launched worldwide as an available service, most games will be included, meaning that I can play those and other favorites of mine on the platform.
Have you tried this? Are you happy about the results? I would love to hear your comments, thoughts, and feedback.
