From some time ago, more and more users started to enjoy mobile games on PC. It’s because it’s more convenient to use a computer unless you have to enjoy it on your smartphone. In addition to the advantage of playing on the large screen of the monitor, it is also possible to enjoy multiple games at the same time by using the emulator. Each may give a slightly different reason, but personally, I think this is the biggest reason for using App Player.
For pure users who only enjoy playing with their mobile phones, it may feel like a bit of a shortcut. However, with the recent release of the beta version of Google Play Games and advertisements, it is confirmed again that it is now openly acknowledged. It’s still in the Beta stage and the number of games that can be supported is limited, so it doesn’t seem like a big change will happen right away, but it seems to be worth paying attention to in that there are more options to support another cross-play.
How to install Google Play Games? 구글 플레이 게임즈 게임 목록
The Google Play Games Beta can run on any PC that meets the minimum requirements. Windows Hypervisor or HAXM (Hardware Execution Manager) must be enabled. If no action has been taken on this part, a message to set may be displayed.

The installation file can be downloaded directly by accessing the official site linked and clicking the ‘Download Beta’ button. There is no particular issue in the process of downloading the file. In the process of installing with the downloaded file, you can see that an error message is displayed if the minimum requirements are not met.
Each on laptop and desktop?!
First, I installed the Google Play Games beta on my laptop for study and work. However, in the middle, you will see an error message popping up right away. Since he does not have a separate graphics card, he confirms that he needs more than 1GB of dedicated video memory. And I’m going to try it on the desktop right away.
Unlike laptops, I was able to confirm that it was installed immediately on the desktop with the GTX 1660ti installed. However, during the process of running the program after installation, you will see the Windows hypervisor setting message mentioned above. Ironically, after proceeding with this, you will see that a VT (virtualization function activation) error message pops up when you run the App Player LD Player, which you have been using well. Eventually, I got angry and pushed it away and installed Windows 11.
Comparison of specifications between Google Games and App Player
The minimum requirements for Google Play Games can be found on the official page. There may be a slight difference between the minimum and recommended specifications, but it is possible to play smoothly if you use the recommended specifications. The hardware virtualization usage setting is a slightly different feature from app players.
Compared to the recommended specifications for each app player, there is no particular difference in specifications. Of course, you can write down the indicated number. The standards required to create a smooth play environment are largely similar. In the end, should it be said that the target to use depends on the games that can be supported?
Which Google Play Games beta supported games?
Since it is still in beta, not all mobile games are supported. About 49 games can be found in the list. Official version release dates vary by country and region, starting in South Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand, and expanding to other regions from late 2022.
The list of supported games on Google Play Games is being updated little by little. As of the time of writing this article, if you look at the list you see after running the program, you can see that a total of 49 games have been registered. It seems necessary to look in advance to see if the games you usually enjoy are included in the list.
Proceed with account linking and agreement to terms and conditions
After installing and running the Google Play Games beta, the profile registration process will proceed. If you have an account saved in the Chrome browser, the browser will launch immediately and log in. This completes the profile registration process, and you may encounter some privacy and privacy issues.
If you check the linked Google account and agree to the terms and conditions, you can check the details related to participating in improving the user experience. Consent to the transmission of related information and data to build a more stable service. When you’re done with this part, go to the page for the specific game through the program launch screen.
How about installing the game and switching accounts?
If you click on a game that is introduced as a recommended game, you can move to a screen where you can see the install button. I haven’t changed the Windows settings and rebooted yet, so I see a message asking me to proceed with that part first. First of all, I’m going to watch a little bit more because I can’t play da account and multiple games.
If you want to enjoy playing with an account different from the profile you registered earlier, log out by clicking the icon at the bottom of the left menu. Like the PC version of a specific game provided by a game company, the fact that overlapping execution itself is impossible unless a sandbox is used does not seem to be a great advantage for those who enjoy multiple mobile games at the same time like me. Instead, the fact that it is Google’s official platform seems to be a great advantage.
It’s not yet an official version, so it’s still too early to judge everything based on the information about the Google Play Games beta that is now being confirmed. Of course, it seems that it requires slightly higher specifications than App Player, the hassle of setting up Windows hypervisor and HAXM, and conflicts with existing programs. In order to attract more users, it seems that the important variable will be to solve the restrictions that cannot be multi-run and multi-account play.
