In a more realistic world, Google may not put in the effort to optimize enough big-name games to make the service immediately appealing. It could let gamers sneak in some playing time in the middle of their workday when opening up Steam would be too much.Īm I really getting worked up over another Google gaming service? Yes, because I'm a sucker for punishment. In a perfect world, it'll allow gamers to play graphically demanding titles that their budget Android phones can't handle while giving people bigger screens for popular shooters and battle royales. If Bluestacks can do it, why not Google?ĭepending on the answers to these questions, Google's new PC gaming service could be a surprising success or an unsurprising failure.
This is more of a hypothetical, but why on earth didn't Google support cloud gaming as an option? Even if Stadia is called Google Stream now and is being shopped to third-parties, that doesn't mean it can't use its own tech so gamers can play Android games without having to download them, even if it's just as a test run to see if they like it. What kind of user threshold will Google consider a success? Given how frequently Google kills or mothballs its own projects ( cough Stadia cough), it's fair to ask whether or not PC users should get attached to the service. What kind of emulator will Google use, and how well will it work compared to Bluestacks? Will it require virtualization or use a compiler like Intel Bridge? And what kind of minimum PC requirements will gamers need, either for casual games or premium games? Is any old laptop good enough, or do you need a true gaming device?. But how many games will actually be supported? Will Google bring the full might of the Play Store, including Play Pass games for subscribers? Or just a very specific number of games that have been PC-optimized? We know Google Play Games will sync your saved files and achievements between your phone and PC. On that note, here are the questions I have about Google's new service: It works best for games with Bluetooth controller support or games with simpler control schemes, but you can customize controls to make any game work.īluestacks doesn't have the native processing power backing the official Android on Windows 11 program, nor the popular branding of Google Play Games, but it offers a huge game library and a dedicated team that's worked on it for a decade. 
You can customize your controls to work with WASD and a mouse - a necessity for free-motion games or anywhere you'd regularly tap with two thumbs simultaneously.
