Test on a Chrome OS
Until the Google Play Games emulator is available in your region, you can test your game on Chrome OS. Use this to:
- Verify that your x86 and x86-64 builds function
- Ensure that your game is playable with a mouse and keyboard
- Update your UI for large displays
- Perform preliminary optimizations on desktop computing devices
You will need to wait for for the emulator availability to:
- Test and integrate Google Play Games specific SDKs
- Perform any emulator specific optimizations to your game code or render pipeline
