This push to make gaming even easier and more fun for Android users is sure to gain some attention. Perhaps even from those users that rarely touch games on their phones.<br \/>\nGoogle hinted at this feature last week. Stating that it would be revealing an Android 12 feature that would be \u201ctransformational.\u201d No one was really sure at the time though what such a feature would be. Today\u2019s reveal appears to be that feature. And transformational seems like it was a good description. As the ability to play games while you download them really does transform the gaming experience.<br \/>\nAndroid 12 will let you play games before you download them completely<br \/>\nThis feature can be found in a number of places outside of Android. From PC games like World of Warcraft, Call Of Duty, Diablo III, Rainbow Six Siege and more. And even some games on PS5.<br \/>\nThe play as you download feature for Android 12 should work just like it does on other platforms. By downloading the files necessary to play first. Before moving on to downloading the rest of the files that aren\u2019t as integral to the play experience. Google says there ill be a beta for this feature for developers to test out.<br \/>\nThough, there\u2019s no word on a beta for users. So most people may not get to try it until after they have Android 12 on their device. And even then, Google\u2019s Pixel devices that are still getting updates may be the only ones with Android 12 in the first few weeks after its release.<br \/>\nObviously, developers have to support this feature first. Even after Android 12 begins hitting devices, Play as You Download won\u2019t mean much if there are no games that support it. That being said, with Google putting out a developer beta, it\u2019s unlikely that there wouldn\u2019t be\u00a0any\u00a0games that support the feature once Android 12 rolls out.<br \/>\nEven if the list starts small, chances are more developers will hop on board as time goes on. Especially if the process to include it doesn\u2019t require much or any extra work on the developer\u2019s part.<br \/>\nThe post Android 12 Will Let You Play Games While They Download appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Android-12-AH-5.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today during the Google for Games Dev Summit, Google announced that Android 12 will come with a Play As You [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8127,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8126"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8128,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8126\/revisions\/8128"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
