The Android platform has already become a popular destination for gamers, with many full-scale games like PUBG Mobile, Minecraft, or Fortnite available on your small screens. That being said, Google has recognized the need to keep your gaming centralized with a dedicated app and they came up with Google Play Games.

Google Play Games is a gaming service dedicated to keep your Android games in one place and to make sure you can save your progress to the cloud, develop your gaming profile, record in-game videos, take screenshots, and take everything about your profile to many devices. Besides that, it features many fun games available for Instant play: playing without having to install the game.

The app also suggests other games for you to play based on your preferences and notifies you about the current game of the week. The social element is there and you can easily invite friends to play with you. You will rank in local/global leaderboards and have a chance to unlock achievements in many games that utilize this service. The app's most useful feature is finding players for multiplayer games, especially for people who want to play in groups and even meet gaming companions.

If you have lots of contacts, you probably have a long list of "gamers" who aren't actually playing any games and who are probably not interested in your invites. Also, this service isn't what you might consider revolutionary as it's more like a dashboard to visit before launching a game. However, it's simple, non-invasive, and it seamlessly integrates into your Android gaming experience.
