Games for PC
Reviewed by Stuart Dredge ยท Updated

You're sitting at your desk with your full monitor in front of you, and you realize most of your installed games are buried in your phone's app drawer. Games solves that friction: it surfaces every game on your device in one organized list, ready to launch with a single click. On a computer, where you have space to breathe and input precision, Games becomes a launcher that puts your entire game library within reach.
Games is a utility that lists every installed game and lets you open them directly. It works by fetching your apps' category data from the Play Store, since Android doesn't natively track which apps are games. Running Games on a computer gives you a cleaner view of your game collection than scrolling through your home screen.
How the App Finds Your Games
Games requires an internet connection to pull category information from the Play Store and identify which of your installed apps qualify as games. Once it refreshes, it builds a complete catalog. If Google updates its game category rules, you can hit the refresh button to sync the latest classifications. This ensures your game list stays accurate as the Play Store evolves.
Playing on a Desktop Setup
Launching games from a full-size monitor and keyboard changes how you organize your library, and precision-dependent titles that build a snake collection benefit directly from mouse control over a full monitor. Instead of hunting through menus on a smaller screen, you see all your titles at once. A session at your computer desk with Games open means clicking straight into play without navigation overhead. The app's straightforward interface suits longer gaming sessions where you want quick access to your next title without friction.
What Games Does in Practice
Games is currently in beta, so some game detections may need refinement. The developer welcomes feedback on which apps are correctly identified or misclassified. If you encounter issues or have ideas for how Games could better organize your collection (whether you're into casual titles, arcade emulator apps, or any other genre) you can reach out directly to [email protected] to share suggestions.
