For just five dollars per month you can play all sorts of fascinating little games with a controller and without in-app purchases. We already sampled a handful of these games, but by October over 100 games will be on the service.<\/p>\n<p>With Apple\u2019s model seemingly the future for quality mobile games, we figured it would only be a matter of time before its chief rival Google offered something similar for Android. And it turns out that time is right now. Check out this trailer for Google Play Pass.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kNl21sqNCFs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>For five dollars per month Google Play Pass not only lets you play Android games without ads and microtransactions but also offers apps as well in the 350-title library. In the long history of mobile giants constantly ripping each other off, that\u2019s one way in which Google Play Pass separates itself from Apple Arcade. Another way is that these games and apps aren\u2019t exclusive to the service. So you can play games you already know are good like <em>Stardew Valley, Monument Valley, Limbo, 80 Days, Mini Metro,<\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/reigns-game-of-thrones-puts-you-on-the-iron-throne-on-nintendo-switch-1782187\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><em>Reigns: Game of Thrones<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested, right now is the best time to get in. US Android owners can get ten days of Google Play Pass for free in Play Store version 16.6.25 and above. And if you subscribe before October 10 it only costs two dollars per month instead of five. If Google really wants to own your gaming life though, they should also offer a bundle that includes the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/why-were-skeptical-of-google-stadias-gaming-future-1779294\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Stadia<\/a>\u00a0streaming service.
