It is apparently 'material all the things' day as Google keeps rolling out those updates. This time we've got a new version of Play Games, but unlike the last one we brought you, this is for all Android devices, not the version intended for Android TV.

What’s New

Again, this is a UI heavy update that makes the app fully material. There's a new icon, new animations, and plenty of color. Here's the changelog listed by the app when you start up. There's not much we can glean from it.

  • Game Profile levels and titles that show off your gaming prowess.
  • A bigger, bolder visual design
