You can now play Android games on your AMD-powered PC

During this year’s Game Developers Conference (GDC), Google announced that it’s expanding support of its Android games to PCs running on AMD hardware. Previously, the official Google Play Games app for Windows did not support AMD CPUs and GPUs.

Up until now, the app required at least Intel UHD Graphics 630 integrated GPU, while Nvidia GeForce MX450 was recommended. Now, users with integrated AMD graphics can also enjoy Android games via the Google Play Games app.

Additionally, the app will let you know which games will run smoothly on your hardware, they will appear with a badge letting you know whether the game is “Optimized”, “Playable” or unable to run on your PC.

Google is also adding neat features like multi-account and multi-instance support, which are only available on third-party emulators.

Google will work closely with PC OEMs to pre-install Google Play Games on their computers starting this year in an effort to push Android games beyond Android devices.

Once published on Google Play, games will automatically appear on the Google Play Games app for Windows unless the developer opts out.
