Google Play’s Offline Game Section

As the title suggests, Google Play now has an Offline Games section. 

This is perfect for casual gamers which is, in my opinion, the majority. Most of the smartphone users play with their downloaded games as way to consume extra time and are not exactly committed to the game itself.

Most games from the Playstore nowadays may require internet connection before you can start playing. But not all of the time, especially in the Philippine setting, there is WIFI available. Those supposedly cool games we downloaded online just end up eating up our phone’s memory and of course, in most cases gets deleted.


We understand that internet connection is essential for a lot of games. For example, to counter piracy or for those which require in-app purchases and those which support multiplayers. However, casual gamers don’t look for those types of games but instead for the much simpler ones and the Offline section makes it a lot easier for them (us!) to find these kinds of games.
Popular titles in this section include Asphalt 8, Adventure Town, Tank World War, Air Alert, Ninja Revenge, Zombie World and more! All of which you can play anywhere in the world.
I hope this move by Google would inspire more game developers to cater to the needs of the casual gamers and make single player games that don’t require internet connection.
