Google Play is working on a Spotify-style taste profile, but for games
The next Android game you play might be picked by Google's AI.
Google Play is developing a new AI-powered feature called Game Finder, reminiscent of Spotify's personalized music recommendations. This feature will utilize your gaming history, ratings and interests to curate a unique "Gamer DNA" profile. This profile will then be used to tailor game suggestions and allow users to customize their feed.
While we were able to glimpse the Gamer DNA user interface, the feature isn't yet fully functional. Google has also been working on a custom game playlist feature, which allows users to group and store games into distinct categories. However, this tool requires users to already have specific games in mind. Google's new Game Finder feature, on the other hand, is designed to help users discover new games they might not have considered before.
Currently, finding a game on Google Play Store involves navigating through storefront listings, genre-based charts and dedicated sections. The recommendations are somewhat passive, with "Recommended for you" being the main personalized section. Google aims to revolutionize this discovery process with the Game Finder.
