Google has been beta testing its next major Android release, Android 12, for several months now. We have already seen a bunch of new features coming to Android devices later this year, and this includes a gaming dashboard that was spotted earlier this year. And now, Google has finally confirmed its existence and provided more details about the upcoming Android 12 Game Dashboard at its Games Developer Summit.
Besides these features, Google has confirmed that the Android 12 Game Dashboard will also include game optimization features. Thanks to this, players will be able to optimize titles to prioritize battery life by limiting FPS and power or prioritize performance by boosting FPS and using more battery. Although the game optimization feature requires additional developer support, Google has already announced Samsung as its initial OEM partner.
Apart from this, the Mountain View giant is also adding a helpful feature in the Play Store, allowing users to play games as they are being downloaded. This feature is called “Play As you Download”. And as the name suggests, it essentially lets users start playing a game before it is completely downloaded on their device.
