Google Games Summit Keynote Announces Play As You Download Feature And More

During the Google Games Summit Keynote, the tech company announced updates to Android’s gaming experience. Mostly pertaining to the dev side of things, the updates will make Android a more useful tool for creating games.
From the user perspective, the biggest piece of news is the ability to play as you download on Android 12. The function allows users to start playing a game immediately without waiting for the download to finish. Google claims 400 MB sized games will take around 10 seconds to load, as opposed to minutes. A dashboard–with a more easily accessible screen record and brightness adjustment–will also be a new feature.
