Willingness to bring Android apps to Windows is strong. Microsoft had announced the thing during the presentation of Windows 11, promising to be able to download Android software directly from the Microsoft Store. Google for its part announced the arrival of the Play Store on the OS during the Game Awards.

Google does not want to hang around, since the beta to use the Play Store on Windows 10 and 11 is already launched! However, it is not yet available in France, since only a handful of users from South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong can access it.

It is possible to register to be notified when the beta will be available from us. It will then be possible to access the online store directly from Windows to download your favorite games. Google has long been hostile to porting its ecosystem to other platforms, but things are slowly changing. The Mountain View company developed its tools by itself, without the help of Microsoft, which offers a different solution. It is advantageous for the user, since it allows synchronization of Google profile data. Cloud saves are also supported.

We can expect to play our favorite Android games on PC in a few months at most. Interestingly, this novelty is not only reserved for Windows 11, since Windows 10 users can also take advantage of it.
