  • Code within the Google Play Store indicates that Google is working on a feature internally called “Cubes.”
  • From the code available so far, it appears that the feature would help with content discovery across various categories, like what to watch, what to game, what to read, what to listen to, and more.

Most of us use the Google Play Store practically every day without even realizing it, as our Android phones usually auto-update all of their Play Store-installed apps regularly. However, most of us don’t actively open the Play Store that often to discover new apps and content, and we rely on other apps and services for our discovery needs. Google is working on changing that, as its latest feature and widget could help you discover new apps on the Play Store.

As per a report from TheSpAndroid, Google is potentially working on a feature that surfaces new apps, games, and other content from various categories. The feature is referred to as “Cubes” in its work-in-progress form, though it could adopt a new marketing name when the feature is fully developed and released to users. Since the feature is in work-in-progress, we’re piecing together various clues to figure out what Google is working on, and there’s a chance that Google’s vision for the feature is different from our interpretation of currently available code.
