- Sam Bright, the lead at Google Play, said that the team’s “ultimate goal” is to have Android apps and games work seamlessly across Android platforms.
- This would solve the issue of an app or game working well on mobile, for example, but not so great on Android XR or Android TV.
- Google has already taken many steps to help with this issue.
Late last year, Google unveiled its first brand-new operating system in 10 years: Android XR. Designed for mixed-reality headsets and glasses, Android XR will be available in new products sometime this year, headlined by the secretive “Project Moohan” headset, created in partnership with Samsung and Qualcomm.
We know for sure that Android XR will support the Google Play Store and thus the millions of apps and games you find there. The problem Google faces, though, is how to scale Android apps and games from two-dimensional mobile screens to the immersive three-dimensional world of Android XR.
