2024 Google for Games Developer Summit Unveils 4 Key Updates
Gaming has a magical way of bringing people together, and at Google, we're all about enhancing that experience to make it as fun and engaging as possible for everyone involved. Whether you're earning rewards on Play, connecting with fellow enthusiasts on YouTube, discovering new games through Ads, or enjoying seamless gameplay thanks to the Cloud, we've got you covered.
This week, we rolled out the red carpet at the Google for Games Developer Summit to showcase a slew of new tools and features that are set to revolutionize the gaming landscape for developers and gamers alike. These updates are designed to push the boundaries of what's possible in gaming, offering players like you even more immersive experiences and new ways to engage with your beloved titles. Let's dive into the exciting new updates:
Play Pass Gets Even Better
Starting today, Google Play Pass subscribers in select markets are in for a treat. Not only will you continue to enjoy our vast catalog of over 1,000 ad-free games and apps, but you'll also receive exclusive in-game items and discounts on blockbuster titles like EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, MONOPOLY GO!, and Roblox. All this, at no extra cost to your monthly subscription!
New Ways to Engage with Games You Love
Discovering what's hot in your favorite games has never been easier. Starting today, you can catch the latest YouTube videos of popular games right in the Google Play Store's Games tab and game listing pages. It's like having a front-row seat to all the action and updates without missing a beat.1
And here's a cool twist: AdMob is redefining in-game ads by turning them into interactive elements that blend seamlessly into the game world. Forget about those annoying pop-ups or video breaks; now, you can choose to interact with ads or just keep on playing without interruption.
More Ways to Sign In and Save Your Progress
We're making life easier for developers by introducing multiple sign-in options through Play Games Services. This means you can use your preferred method to log in. And the best part? Your game progress and achievements will seamlessly follow you across devices, so you can pick up right where you left off, no matter where you signed in from.2
More PC Games from Top Developers
Get ready, PC gamers! Google Play Games is expanding its horizons to support native PC games. You'll soon be able to dive into a wider selection of games designed specifically for PC, directly through Google Play. Titles like Lineage2M, Odin: Valhalla Rising, Genshin Impact, and Dragonheir: Silent Gods are already on board, and we're thrilled to bring you even more top-notch gaming experiences across both mobile and PC platforms.3
