Google now lets you play Android games before downloading them

Google has recently announced changes to its Play app in a blog post that will let you play games on Android devices without the need to download them. The Google Play app comes with Arcade tab on the bottom, letting you preview, browse games and even play some without downloading them in the Google Play Instant category.

Google has also started pushing some UI updates to the Play Store for a better preview of images and screenshots that are still rolling to all customers. There are also video trailers, news, and YouTube walkthroughs. First headlines that are available include Clash Royale, Solitaire, and Words With Friends 2, you can check them out via visiting this link.

To get the new features, you might have to install or update your current app and it should be available to everyone soon as Google promises that Google Play Instant will be available “on more than 1 billion Android devices worldwide”.

Google Play Store comes with subtle UI changes: the preview function is new and is made mostly for swiping, you can’t use your keyboard arrows. The screenshots now open full screen and there is a neat drop-down menu to select the device that should get the app.

Google will be at the Game Developers Conference which is happening this week, so look forward to more announcements about the Google Play gaming to come.
