Steam and Epic will now be competitors for Google Play Games on Windows

Google Play Games

Google released the Google Play Games app for Windows in 2022. You can download and play a variety of Android games on the operating system with its help. But that’s not all. There are games that are exclusive to the marketplace. But the number of those is restricted because Google only collaborates with a chosen group of partners in that area. Thankfully, that will soon change.

Google said during the Games Developer Summit that, as of “this year,” all creators will be able to release their Windows games on the Google Play Games marketplace. As a result, Google Play Games will start to closely resemble Steam and the Epic Store on the OS and will face increased competition from them. Developers can immediately begin expressing interest in having their games published on Google Play Games, according to Google.

This implies that high-profile titles like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 may soon be available on Google Play Games for Windows. You may be wondering now why you shouldn’t use Steam and the Epic Store instead, as they have a larger selection of titles. You’re right, though, which is why it’s believable that Google’s Windows game marketplace won’t take off until the business has more ambitious plans.
