Google Play Store

Google Play is Google’s premier app store. It was originally designed to provide apps for use with Google’s popular Android operating systems. However, with the transition away from browser-dependent Chrome apps and toward the progressive web app design of Google apps, the Google Play Store has become the go-to tool for adding more apps to the ChromeOS device. With over 2 million apps and more being added every day, there’s no doubt that the Google Play Store has the app you need.

ChromeOS is able to take advantage of Google Play Store apps because both operating systems are derived from the Linux operating system. This common lineage has ensured that ChromeOS has the right code running behind the scenes to support Android apps. That being said, there are a few minor tweaks you’ll need to perform before you can begin downloading your Google Play Store apps.

Follow these steps, and you’ll be ready to play in no time!
