Google Play Games on PC enters public beta, expands to more markets

Google brought its Play Games service to PC earlier this year, with the first users from select regions able to sign up for a closed beta.

The Android Developers blog, which is the official tribune for Android and Google Play news for apps and game developers, recently announced that Google Play Games on PC is moving into the open beta stage and will be available to eight more countries.

Here’s the full list of markets and regions where the service is accessible: Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Initially launched with 12 major titles like Asphalt 9, Gardenscapes and Homescapes, users will now be able to download and play on PC games like 1945 Air Force, Blade Idle, Evony: The King’s Return, and others.

Google managed to reduce the minimum system requirements so now a quad-core CPU, Windows 10 and integrated graphics is all you need to get started.

The magic happens in a standalone application, built by Google. The menu is similar to Google Play Store but with longer descriptions and Windows-like notifications. You can still get Play Points for your in-game achievements though.
