In various media reports, Google has stated that it plans to make Android games cross-platform in 2022 with its Play Games app, but even before that happens, many games on the Google Play Store are providing a “Download on Windows” option.
Everyone who looks at the app on the Play Store on a Windows PC appears to be able to see the choice, according to reports. This is accomplished with the use of a bespoke Purple emulator made by the game’s creator NCsoft, but it is still rare for Google to have the option for direct download appear in the Google Play Store.

When you click the button, a.exe file for Windows is downloaded, and the setup program leads you through the process of installing the game and the Purple emulator. The Playstore listing also includes information about the Windows operating system and system requirements. Users will require Windows 8 or above operating on a PC powered by an Intel i5 CPU (3.0GHz), 8 GB of RAM, 4 GB of VRAM, a Geforce series GPU or higher, and at least 10GB of available storage space.
In any case, this is a fascinating development, and it would be great if users could download additional applications and games in a similar fashion. The search giant has also requested that game creators optimize their titles on the PC, and it’s probable that we’ll hear about some important developments in this area sooner rather than later.
A Google Play Games app for Windows laptops, tablets, and PCs will be available in 2022, according to the company’s initial announcement at the Game Awards, which took place on December 9. The smooth gameplay transition from Android to Windows will be accomplished through the use of a Google Play Games app. It’s important to note that Google isn’t the only company working on a cross-platform solution. Windows 11 will include an Android app layer thanks to a collaboration between Microsoft and Amazon. And emulators such as BlueStacks, which have been around for a long time and are known for their flawless gaming performance, are also available.
