Google in the United States revealed in "The Game Awards" that it plans to provide "Google Play Games" application in 2022, which can play Android games provided by "Google Play" in Windows environment.
According to the US IT media The Verge, this structure seems to be constructed independently, rather than using "Windows Subsystem for Android" (Microsoft,WSA) or "BlueStacks". Games are not streamed from the cloud, but run locally, allowing Windows terminals to enjoy the continuation of games they have played on smartphones, tablets and Chromebook.
In addition, the corresponding OS is considered to be Windows10, which can also be said to be good news. The WSA that Microsoft is testing can only be used after Windows 11.
In addition, WSA only supports the apps and games listed in the Amazon App Store (Amazon Appstore) (and the available apps will be further locked during testing), but if it is a "Google Play" store, it will also have an advantage in terms of lineup.

In September, Microsoft revised its "Microsoft Store" policy to allow third-party app stores to publish. "Epic Games Store" can be searched and installed from the Store application.
In addition, registration applications do not necessarily need to use the "Microsoft Store" payment system, you can use their own infrastructure for settlement, which is also very attractive for developers.
