Google Play Games has been the sole prominent store for Android applications and games. Smartphone gaming is now better than ever and not just a niche anymore. Many full-scale games are available on handheld. You can even use an Android emulator like Bluestacks to run these Smartphone apps and games on your PC. However, Google is bringing out a new service called Google Play Games for PC which is seemingly better than emulation.

What is Google Play Games for PC?
Through this service, users on the Windows platform can run Android games and apps on their PC. The way it’s different from emulation is that not emulation but a port. This means that games on this service will provide better performance. Since emulation takes a lot of performance resources, removing that aspect lets the system do one task instead of two. You can download it right now.
The one downside of this is that the service will probably never be able to make the sheer number of games available through emulators. Porting and optimizing a game takes time and resources, and there are going to be games that may never be available through service.
These are the minimum system requirements for Google Play Games –
OS: Windows 10 (v2004)
Storage: Solid State Drive (SSD) with 10 GB of available storage space
Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 GPU or comparable
Processor: 4 CPU physical cores (some games require an Intel CPU)
Memory: 8 GB of RAM
