Arol brings half a decade of writing experience, and the occasional hot take, to his writings. He transitioned to a news and feature writer role at XDA Developers that same year, where he worked until 2021 before making the jump to AP. Years later, in 2017, he got his true start in tech journalism working for a small Google-focused site called Pixel Spot. He first began writing online for the short-lived portal of Spanish-language gaming forum Emudesc in 2013. Really, the biggest bottleneck still out there these days is RAM and if you have less than 8GB of RAM on your PC, you probably have other problems to deal with anyway.Īrol is a tech journalist and contributor at Android Police.
They're often also multithreaded, meaning those cluster can have a total of eight or 12 processing threads. Play Games for PC requires at minimum a quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, 10GB of storage space, a semi-decent integrated GPU (Intel UHD 630 or better), and Windows 10 v2004 or newer.Įven modern mid-range CPUs are coming with at least four or six compute cores. Google says it still believes a PC that meets or exceeds its specs guidelines will provide the best experience and, frankly, if you have a new-ish PC, you'll probably meet them anyway.
You just need to look for your Windows environment variables ( our sister site MUO has an oldie-but-goldie guide on this), add a new one called "GOOGLE_PLAY_GAMES_SUPPRESS_COMPATIBILITY_CHECK," and set its value to "true." Once you save the settings, you should be able to open Google Play Games for PC without encountering any hurdles. Currently, PCs with Windows 11 can also use the new Windows Subsystem for Android to run Android applications and games, and you can even sideload the Google Play Store.Google has published instructions for users to bypass the Google Play Games for PC minimum spec check and play Android games on any Windows 10 or 11 PC regardless of how meager a machine is. Google says that AMD PCs with less than 1GB of VRAM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops are not compatible. Google previously published the minimum system requirements for Play Games for PC, which includes Windows 10 v2004 or later, an SSD, 20GB of available storage space, a “gaming-class GPU”, 8 logical GPU cores, 8GB RAM, a Windows admin account, and hardware virtualization (hypervisor/HAXM) enabled. If it's been uploaded for a few days (which it could have been), then it implies that Google is gearing up for a launch - though we might be a little while away yet.Īs for what to expect, Google's primary executable for Google Play Games on Windows is reportedly “crosvm.exe,” indicating that it’s based on Google’s official virtual machine for Chrome OS. If this file was just uploaded, it could mean that Google intends on distributing Android Desktop system images in a matter of hours. Of course, all this tells us is that this is a recent development.
