Although smartphone games are not at the same level as those designed for PCs, some users may feel uncomfortable playing them on a small touchscreen. Therefore, we have put together some suggestions to help you play Android phone games on a Windows PC.

Tips range from using an exclusive Google platform to reliable emulators that do all the work for you. Check out more information below.

Download Google Play Games for Windows

After so many years, Google finally decided to take action to make life easier for those who needed to use emulators and launched Google Play Games: a downloadable program where you can play official Android games. In other words, you download a platform and play on your PC those games that you normally only find on mobile phones.

Getting started is very simple: click here and download the program online. But remember to check the hardware requirements to play without any problems, such as Windows 10 or later operating system, SSD with 10 GB of internal storage left, a minimum of 8 GB of RAM and preferably a reasonable video card. The link we shared also shows the extensive portfolio of games that you can enjoy.

Use native emulation on Windows 11

Among the advantages of Windows 11 over 10, we can mention the fact that 11 has a native feature for emulating the Android operating system. The software allows the user to play Android applications without having to install too many emulators. Despite the novelty, the feature is only available in some regions.

The name of the feature is Windows Subsystem for Android and allows you to get apps from the Amazon Appstore and embed them into your system to play games. Another alternative would be to uninstall Windows Subsystem for Android and install the Google Play Store on Windows 11 to access games.
