On the Play Store side, version 50.6 adds a consumer-friendly tweak. Users will now be able to try select premium games for a limited time before purchasing. We are the first informed about this feature last month. Not only will this feature make it easier to decide if a paid title is worth your money, but you’ll also be able to test your progress once you’ve purchased the game.
There’s also a smaller visual update for Wear OS users. When browsing the Play Store on the smartwatch, you’ll see animated placeholders as pages load, which should make the experience feel a little more polished.
As with most Play services and Play Store updates, these changes will be rolled out gradually. Although they are already official, it may take some time for them to appear on your devices.
