And while that happens, Google is updating its ecosystem to welcome the new operating system. Something that should happen sometime in September, although we could be surprised.

The game mode reached Android 12 through the third beta of the operating system although it was anticipated days before by Google itself.

With this integration, the Google Play Games widget already warns us that a game is compatible with the new mode from the phone’s own desktop and also during the opening of it, so we can activate it.

Besides this, Google Play Games integrates with the Android 12 games panel so a simple touch on the desktop widget will allow us to navigate to the page that contains our achievements, trophies, leaderboards and other configuration and profile tabs.

Thus, developers are gradually adapting their titles.
