Google Play Games

A hub for your Android games

Google Play Games brings game discovery and player features together in one app. It suits Android players who want to browse for something new, keep track of achievements and carry progress between devices. Rather than being a game in one genre, it connects with games across styles, from action to puzzles.

Find a game or play a quick one

The app can point you towards games to try, and some titles offer Instant play, so you can start without installing them first. It also includes built-in games such as Solitaire, Minesweeper and Snake, which can be played offline. That makes it useful both for finding a longer game and filling a spare moment with something familiar.

Keep your progress and achievements

A gamer profile gives you an identity for your Play Games activity, with achievements to unlock and XP to earn as you play. In supported games, progress can be saved to the cloud, so you can pick up where you left off on another device. The app also offers gameplay recording for capturing and sharing moments from play.
