Leading in various sectors, Google doesn't want to neglect the gaming market during this process.
Google Play Games for PC continues to enhance the gaming experience with its recent updates. Announced on Monday, October 23, the platform is introducing several features to cater to the needs of gaming enthusiasts.
One of the standout features is the introduction of 4K resolution support.

The update also expands the range of controller support. Joining the roster of compatible controllers are the PlayStation 5’s DualSense, PlayStation 4’s DualShock, and controllers from both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. This builds on the platform’s previous support which included the Xbox Adaptive Controller and several other popular gamepads.
Searching for games has become more user-friendly. A search bar now prominently sits atop the All Games section, streamlining the game discovery process. Moreover, Google has enriched its game library by introducing crowd favorites, Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.
