While this is certainly exciting news for the mobile video game community, we have no knowledge of how long it would take for Google Play Games & PC compatibility to reach the United States, and the rest of the world. In fact, it’s too early to tell if things will even get to that stage, as it’s possible Google may decide to drop the project at any time along the way.
The Google Play Games app on Windows would naturally be synced with the mobile app version, as long as it’s on the same account, so that players won’t lose any progress when switching between platforms.
“Players can easily browse, download, and play their favorite mobile games on their PCs while taking advantage of larger screens with mouse and keyboard inputs,” stated Arjun Dayal, group product manager at Google Play Games. “No more losing your progress or achievements when switching between devices; it just works with your Google Play Games profile!”
We’ll see how far Google takes this new development, and if it really does end up officially joining Amazon and Microsoft’s combined effort to begin closing the gap between mobile and PC ecosystems.
