The Google Play Store It remains the beating heart of Android for Google and its users. Naturally, this program has attracted a lot of attention, especially for the Games tab. Now it looks like Google is giving this section of the app another new coat of paint.
Currently, the Games tab in the Play Store offers a fairly rigid top navigation structure with its options. For you, The best charts, Other devicesand Children shortcuts. What it doesn’t do is make it easy to jump right into your genre of choice.

The new layout now includes Material-like bubbles that redirect users Simulation, Puzzle, Lifeand other game genres. Note that these are options already available in the program Categories tab in the current UI. Finally, this change saves players a step.
