Over the past few months, our Google Play Games catalog growth has been accelerating with the addition of many popular mobile games. We’re particularly excited to announce the GPG launch of titles from globally acclaimed developers such as Gardenscapes, Evony: The King’s Return, and Lords Mobile – these games and dozens more are available to play in New Zealand.

Our broader goal continues to be meeting players where they are and giving them access to their games on as many devices as possible. Players participating in the beta have expressed excitement at being able to seamlessly play their favorite games across their phones, tablets, Chromebooks and PCs. Additionally, since launching last year we have made significant strides to reach even more players by reducing the minimum spec requirements to PCs running Windows 10+ with an integrated graphics card and 4+ core CPU. 

We’re thrilled to expand our platform to more markets for players to enjoy their favorite games on Google Play. As we move towards a full release, we will continue to add new features and evaluate developer and player feedback.

We’ll have more to share on future beta releases and regional availability soon.
