The Google Play Games application has been a game center for Android users for many years. It offered an ideal platform for those who wanted to follow the achievements in the games and compete with friends. However, recently, Google’s interest in this application has decreased. The company has begun to integrate the main functions of Play Games into the Play Store.
Assembledebug, which disintegrated and analyzed the application codes, revealed this development. With his sharing on the X platform, the Google Play Games app has not gained new features for months. Despite this, he said he observed that new infrastructures were prepared for players in the background of the Play Store. In particular, innovations such as player profiles and tracking users are remarkable.
New game features are included in the Google Play Store application
All these tips show that Google gradually wants to disable the Play Games application. It is now possible to watch users’ game achievements via the Play Store. In addition, it is seen that new friendship and social interaction mechanisms are on the road. Google is known to have taken similar steps in different products.
Google Play Games was available in 2013 in the golden age of mobile games. This service, which aims to create an alternative to Apple’s Game Center, emerged at a time when mobile acting became widespread. At that time, smartphones had become serious competitors to portable game consoles. Google also wanted to capture this change with Play Games.
However, over the years, user habits have changed significantly. Now the games can directly manage their achievements and friendly lists. This change reduced the need for an independent game platform. The fact that Google leaves the Play Games application in the background seems to be a natural consequence of this change.
On the other hand, with the Google Play Games application, Google Play Games for PC service is different projects. On the PC side, a system that makes Android games playable on Windows computers has been developed. Although this service is still in beta phase, it is regularly updated with new games. The Play Games application on the mobile side does not see the same interest.
In addition to all these, Google’s general approach to simplify user experience also prepares the ground for these developments. The company had previously switched to Google Wallet by closing Google Pay service. Similarly, it is considered a logical move to move the Play Games into the Play Store. Thus, the scattered application experience for users will be reduced.
In spite of everything, a official closing announcement has not been made by Google at the moment. The Play Games application is still available in Google Play Store. However, the changes in the background make it feel strongly that this application will not be long -lasting. Users are expected to manage all game interactions directly through the Play Store in the near future.
This change can enable the gaming experience in the Android ecosystem to achieve a more integrated structure. Making mobile players’ habits based on Play Store will both create ease of use and simplify the system management for Google. The transfer of the Play Games application is moving towards the closing quietly. In the light of all this, it can be said that the gaming experience in the Android world has opened a new page.
