You will soon be able to play Android games from the Google Play Store in Windows - without using any potentially troublesome emulators.

The previous beta was limited to Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and Thailand but from November 2, it will now be available in Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and the US.
"We're thrilled to expand our platform to more markets for players to enjoy their favorite games on Google Play," said Arjun Dayal, director of Google Play Games.
"As we move towards a full release, we will continue to add new features and evaluate developer and player feedback."
Games available on the service include Asphalt 9: Legends, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Cooke Run: Kingdom.
The app also allows you to sync progress between devices by using the same Google account. Each supported game offers native keyboard and mouse support.
