Brace Yourself: 10 Premier PC Titles From Google Play Games Beta

The Google Play Games beta is set to shake up the Android game emulator scene. It offers an alternative to the likes of BlueStacks and NoxPlayer, with the promise of optimized versions of mobile games.

Not all mobile games translate well to PC, though, regardless of the emulator you choose. If you’re keen on trying the Google Play Games beta, here are the 10 titles that translate best from mobile to PC.

Google Play Games on PC

TheGoogle Play Games beta is available for testers in various regions worldwide. It’s an official Android emulator for Windows created by Google and is set to be one of the best BlueStacks alternatives out there. You can install Android games on PC with this beta and even though it doesn’t have all the features that come with other emulators, game developers actively work with Google to create versions of their titles optimized for PC.

One of the best features of the Google Play Games beta is that progression is saved on your account across all devices. And, since it’s an official program from Google, it’s the safest emulator for you to use for logging into your Google account. You may have also noticed that some emulator games may run poorly regardless of your computer’s specifications. Well, the Google Play Games beta looks to optimize titles to run better on your PC and allow changes to some games’ control schemes. That is, games will, at least, either run better or offer more control scheme options.

Afterinstalling Google Play Games on Windows , you’ll want to consider trying the following games, as they’re some of the best in terms of how well their PC port functions in the Google Play Games beta. It’s really great to play these titles without having to slouch over your phone, and, in some cases, using a mouse and keyboard is much more comfortable overall. Keep an eye out for the performance indicator at the top left and the optimization box at the bottom right of each game’s installation page, though sometimes these aren’t entirely accurate.

1. Idle Superpowers

It’s safe to say that idle games are some of the most popular titles for mobile devices. Idle Superpowers is one of the best idle games on the Google Play Games beta. It runs very well, but the nature of the game requires that you leave it open and running, as progression is limited to 10 levels and won’t pass bosses unless the game is open and running. If you do this on mobile, you’ll quickly drain your phone’s battery.

Playing this on a PC keeps you from using your phone’s battery for extended periods, and it also runs much better on desktop. It’s worth noting that you can’t get ad rewards, though.

2. Gems of War - Match 3 RPG

Gems of War is a mobile game that’s not available for PC unless you download an emulator or, in this case, the Google Play Games beta. There’s no dramatic shift in terms of swapping to mouse and keyboard, but the gameplay is comfortable enough with just a mouse. However, it runs very well, and the visuals are impressive on a larger display.

As with all titles on the Google Play Games beta, progress is saved across all devices.

Cookie Run: OvenBreak is the first mobile game on this list with impactful control changes on the port to PC. For gameplay, you can press F to jump and J to slide, and you can change these hotkeys in the settings menu. Its performance is another story, though, and it’s highly recommended that you change the graphics settings to low and disable background animations.

You’re also in for a long wait while it installs. It took me over 45 minutes to finish installing this title on the Google Play Games beta. But the gameplay is smooth, and the controls make it especially enjoyable.

4. Island War

Island War is the only game on this list that runs in portrait mode, but don’t let this stop you from giving it a try. Yes, it only runs in portrait mode, but it has straightforward controls. Using a mouse for unit placement feels better than tapping a screen on a mobile device.

Organizing units in boats also feels more engaging on a PC than on a phone. It’s a great mobile game port to play on PC, as it has both active and idle elements.

5. Towerlands: Tower Defense TD

Towerlands: Tower Defense TD is another mobile game that translates well to PC. It has idle and active gameplay elements, and using a mouse makes the gameplay more engaging when it comes to selecting units and upgrades. While the graphics don’t get much love, the gameplay is relaxing and worth trying.

The visuals in this game are identical to the mobile version in every way, but the performance feels better, and I still found it quite enjoyable.

6. Botworld Adventure

The Botworld Adventure Google Play Games beta port is simply fantastic. While it doesn’t have WASD movement support, the mouse settings work the same way mobile does. That is, you can use click-to-move or click-and-drag in any given direction to move. Unit placement in combat, as well as menu navigation, are easy and intuitive.

The game is well-optimized for desktop and runs well even at the highest graphics settings. While hardware can be a factor, most computers can probably run this better than most cell phones.

7. Hungry Shark Evolution

Hungry Shark Evolution is one of the best ports from mobile to PC via the Google Play Games beta. It downloads, installs, and loads very quickly. One of perhaps its only drawbacks involves its visuals, which can seem noticeably poor on larger monitors and screens.

The game boasts full keyboard configuration support. The control layout is fantastic, making the game very easy to play, fun, and intuitive to control.

Hungry Shark Evolution is an instant classic, running smoothly on PC. Careful, though; I found this one to be quite addictive.

8. Idle Heroes

Idle Heroes is one of the better idle games to play on the Google Play Games beta. It has a simple UI, you don’t need to use a keyboard, and playing this game on a PC will save your phone’s battery a lot of wear. The game’s resolution adapts to larger screens, so visuals are clear on almost any display.

The gameplay loop is simple but can entertain for hours. It’s worth mentioning that Idle Heroes codes do, in fact, work on the Google Play Games beta port of the game. So, if you’re playing the game for the first time and want to use codes, you can start on PC.

9. Shop Titans: RPG Idle Tycoon

If you typically shy away from complexmanagement and city-building games , Shop Titans: RPG Idle Tycoon on the Google Play Games beta might be for you. It’s a simplistic and fun idle management game that’s great for running in the background when multitasking. It’s one of the better options to alt-tab to throughout your day, all without having to unlock your phone.

10. Summoners War

Summoners War offers a great mix of idle and active gameplay mechanics, which makes it another fantastic choice for playing on PC. It’s also one of the more in-depth idle games available on the Google Play Games beta, with hero, building, and combat management.

The main screen is a pleasant sight, even though it’s identical to the mobile version. Ad rewards aren’t available on PC, but everything else functions properly. Using a mouse instead of tapping on a screen is much more comfortable, and, as with a few other games on this list, it’s a great game to run in the background when you’re multitasking.

Try Out These PC Games on Google Play Games Beta

These are the top 10 Android games that run just as well, or better, on PC with the Google Play Games beta. While some popular mobile game genres might struggle to find a place on an emulator, these titles are a great place to start.

If you don’t have access to the Google Play Games beta, there’s no need to fret. There are a ton of lightweight emulators you can use to play Android games on both PC and Mac.
