The Beta channel 53.0.2785.36 (Platform version: 8530.35.0) has been released for Chrome OS devices. This build contains a number of bug fixes, security updates and feature enhancements where we are introducing the Play store on Chromebooks. The Play store on Chromebooks is still in Developer Preview and some features may not work as intended. Chromebooks that are supported include Acer Chromebook R11, Asus Chromebook Flip and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015). A list of changes can be found here. Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days.
If you find new issues, please let us know by visiting our forum or filing a bug. Interested in switching channels? Find out how. You can submit feedback using ‘Report an issue...’ in the Help section of the Chrome menu (3 vertical dots in the upper right corner of the browser).
