Google Play Games comes to Windows, but only in a handful of countries
Google Play Games, a PC app that lets you play Android games on a Windows PC, has finally launched – but there's a catch.
The app is only available as a beta, and only in three countries: Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. If you visit the Google Play Games site from any other country, you'll get a "beta isn’t available in your region yet" message.
Furthermore, the catalog of games currently on offer is a bit thin. Some of the available games include Asphalt 9: Legends, Last Shelter: Survival, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Rise of Empires: Ice and Fire, and Summoners War.
