Google Play Pulls An Xbox "Play Anywhere," Adds Free Game Trials

Google has announced several updates to Google Play, including paid games, game trials and what the company describes as "buy once, play anywhere pricing."

"We're actively expanding our library to include more paid games," Google said in a recent blog post. "Over the coming months, some of the most anticipated indie games are coming to Play, including Moonlight Peaks, Sledding Game, and Low-Budget Repairs. You can dive into these worlds across both mobile and PC with Google Play Games, and your Gamer Profile syncs your progress across devices."

The Google Play app is also implementing a new PC section to allow players to more easily find, bookmark, and buy PC games that suit their interests. A new wishlist feature will alert users when a game they've been eyeing goes on sale, and a new Game Trials feature is set to roll out soon, allowing players to try before they buy.
