    Some of the upcoming changes include improved home section for games which will soon feature trailers and screenshots of gameplay and two new browse destinations are also coming soon namely ‘New’ (for upcoming and trending games) and ‘Premium’ (for paid games).

    Google will be now showing reminders to try games users have recently installed and will also expand successful ‘live operations’ banners on the Play Store. This will mean that Google will soon notify users about major in-game events in popular games users already got on their devices.

    The list includes BuzzFeed, NYTimes (Crossword), Hollar, Red Bull, Skyscanner, Onefootball Live Soccer Scores – these can now be tried out by users before actually downloading them.
