There will be many people who want to run mobile games on their PC. This is because games that support auto hunting (AUTO) or genres in which controls that require speed, accuracy, and even precision, such as racing or AOS, affect victory or defeat, are helpful in many ways when enjoying them. In addition, since it does not consume the battery of smartphones and tablets, it is advantageous in terms of heat generation and usage time. Representative Android emulators include LD, Nox, BlueStacks, and WAKUOO.
However, incidents such as the mining process running on the PC without the user’s knowledge, hacking of the Google account, secret payment, and stealing of in-game goods did not stop. Is that why? Google, which develops and provides the Android operating system, introduced a PC app player named ‘Google Play Games Beta’. It still has a long way to go as the ‘Beta’ modifier is attached, but it can be a good option for those who don’t want to suffer from the aforementioned problems. In this article, we would like to share the basic usage, advantages and disadvantages. 구글 플레이게임즈 설치
1. Download and Run

If you download and run the installation file from the official site, all processes are automatically performed just like the installation of the ‘Chrome’ web browser. These days, the capacity of mobile games is ridiculously over 1GB, but it is unfortunate that the installation path is fixed. There is only one condition of use. All you need is a Google account. Of course, you can use the profile you used on your mobile device in the Google Play PC version as it is.
2. User-friendly interface
The UI/UX is so user-friendly that even users who have never used a PC app player can use all the features in just 5 minutes. First, select [Profile] located at the bottom of the left side menu and go to ‘Settings’.
First, disable ‘Send usage and diagnostic data’. The notable feature here is that Google App Player supports in-app payment. Of course, other Android emulators such as NOX and BlueStacks have been available for a very long time, but in terms of protecting payment methods, Google Play Games Beta is more reliable. There must be some people who play mobile games on a computer, but are worried about payment and charge only on mobile devices.
2. Advantages
A total of 53 games are currently included on the compatibility list.
The advantage is perfect compatibility. All you have to do is find the title you want to play among the titles included in the [All Games] list and click the ‘Install’ button. Then it will install itself on your computer. Unlike other app players, there is no need to worry about 32-bit or 64-bit. (Instead, hardware virtualization must be turned on manually)
In-game quality is very high as Google guarantees compatibility. Among PC app players, the picture quality and sound are satisfactory enough to be counted in one hand. I like to play games like ‘Asphalt 9: Legends’ and ‘Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’ where sophisticated controls affect win/loss, or games like ‘Heroes Tales’ with great graphics, rather than simply returning AUTO content. see.
3. Disadvantages
There are too many regrets. There are several reasons why I said at the outset that there is still a long way to go. First, it takes up too much system resources. The GPU is similar to other programs, but the CPU and memory usage is higher than expected. Although it is also the reason why the eyes and ears are enjoyable and pleasant game play, which was mentioned as an advantage earlier, is possible.
Second, you cannot resize the window arbitrarily. Full screen is possible, but the minimum window size is 1400 x 800, which is larger than expected. And it doesn’t support running multiple emulators at the same time. What we can tell from this is that Google Play Games Beta is a program for gamers who are frustrated with the palm-sized smartphone screen. It provides an environment where you can enjoy your favorite games in high definition on a wide screen, just like playing PC or console games.
Keyboard customization is not possible. Key mapping optimized for games on the support list is applied by default. However, the value cannot be changed arbitrarily by the user. Of course, there are traces of painstaking efforts for comfortable control, but even in the process of ancillary games, such as opening and closing the game menu or skipping story scenes,
Another reason why the Google Play PC version is disappointing is the lack of variety. The advantage of making it possible to download and install only those that have been confirmed for compatibility for perfect operation feels rather like a disadvantage. And even though NCSoft mobile games (ex. Blade & Soul 2, Rin 1, 2, etc.) are included in the support list, clicking Install will lead you to the download link for ‘Purple’, an emulator provided by NC. In addition to this, most of the popular games that desperately need a PC app player are missing.
To sum it up, I’m not satisfied with using the Google Play Games beta for working on a mobile game. On the other hand, it can be a satisfactory program for those who want to immerse themselves in games using a mouse and keyboard on a large screen or want to use a PC app player, but are reluctant to protect personal information. For reference, if you make an in-app payment in the program by October 27th, you will get a 5,000 won discount, so I think it’s worth installing and using it at least once.
