There are several methods that we can use when playing Android games on our Windows computer, such as the use of emulators or even WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android), but as we can see on the Google Play website itself, now we can have an official system to do the same in the form of Google Play Games.
Exactly how this method works is unknown, as while we can download and use it, there doesn’t seem to be any mention of virtualizing Android on the official site. However, if we look at the system requirements, Yes, we can get used to the idea that something similar to that is what is happening.
These requirements mention the need for at least 10GB of available solid disk space. –so that if we have a mechanical hard drive we still have problems—in addition to requiring it to be activated hardware virtualizationso while an entire Android system may not be virtualized, Yes, parts of it will be virtualized.
Among the other requirements, 8GB of RAM is requested, a 4-core processor -which should be Intel to have the best possible experience- and a GPU that doesn’t seem to require being very powerful, since the use of an Intel UHD Graphics 630 is indicated.
