The Play In-app Updates API lets you trigger updates directly from the game, without risking user drop-off by having them go to the Play Store to get the update. You can trigger the update flow from within the game itself, and the user is kept in a managed flow until the update finishes. We launched In-app Updates for apps last year at Google I/O, and we are now adding support for games.
