In order to ensure that players have a high quality experience on Google Play Games on PC, you have to pass two sets of tests before your game can be published. You must pass these test in order:

• Milestone 1: Functional Testing where we verify that the build meets baseline requirements.

• Milestone 2: Quality Testing where our playtesting team verifies that the game can be played.

Use this checklist to verify that you've completed all the necessary steps before submitting a build to ensure a quick approval process.

Milestone 1 Requirements

The goal of this milestone is to verify that the build works, the core technical requirements are met, and the game is ready to be played on a PC with a keyboard and mouse. Feedback typically takes 2-3 business days.

Here's the requirements for this milestone:

• Platform Requirements
  • Support x86 ABI Architecture
• PC Compatibility
  • Support mouse and keyboard
  • Integrate the Input SDK
  • Disable unsupported Android features and permissions
  • Disable unsupported Google APIs
  • Use scoped storage for filesystem access
• Display and Visual Assets
  • Use high resolution assets and textures on PC
  • Support PC-specific aspect ratios
  • Scale UI elements appropriately for a larger screen
  • Render at 60Hz
  • Audio playback is smooth and in sync
• Google Play Games Services sign in and game sync for the PC
  • Automatically sign-in with Google Play Games Services on PC
  • Automatically sync save games on PC

Milestone 2 Requirements

The goal of this milestone is to ensure playability of your game on a PC, taking into account common points of user friction and negative feedback. Your build must pass Milestone 1 before proceeding to Milestone 2. Builds submitted for Milestone 2 testing should be considered ready to launch.

Feedback on a build typically takes 2-3 business days, and will include feedback as follows:

• Mandatory: Feedback must be addressed before the game can move to production. Examples include (this is not a complete list):
  • Game updates do not work and the game cannot be played
  • Crashes, visual artifacts, or other obvious bugs during gameplay
  • Keyboard or mouse controls are incomplete and result in obviously negative or unplayable user experience
  • Significant performance issues
• Recommendation: We will not launch the game until you review this feedback and confirm that you want to launch. While this feedback is non-blocking, you may want to address these issues before moving the game to production. Generally speaking, recommendations anticipate common causes of negative user sentiment. Examples include (this is not a complete list):
  • Keyboard or mouse controls are incomplete and result in noticeable user friction, but where the game is still playable
  • Mobile controls still appear on-screen, but the game is still playable
• Suggestion: Non-blocking concerns, which will not delay your game's launch. This generally captures all other impressions which might affect user sentiment.

Here's the requirements for this milestone:

• Playtesting feedback
  • Address all blocking issues
  • Acknowledge all strong recommendations
• Cross-Platform Play
  • Automatically sign-in with Google Play Games Services on mobile and PC
  • Automatically sync save games between mobile and PC
• The production version of your mobile build must use Google Play Games Services V2.
