Authority Insights<\/a> story. Authority Insights brings you all the latest exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage from the Android Authority team that you won\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\nWe found hints about the potentially upcoming feature in Google Play Store version 53.3.21-34, with several new code strings suggesting that Google will officially name this custom collection of games a playlist.<\/p>\n
Users will likely be able to build their own collections, with the option to add multiple games and customize the playlist\u2019s look. We haven\u2019t spotted this feature before, and Google hasn\u2019t acknowledged it either, so there\u2019s no guarantee that it will roll out. However, considering the amount of supporting code evidence we\u2019ve found, it\u2019s clear that playlists will be more than just a simple game bookmarking tool. Instead, Play will let users curate collections like \u201cBest offline games,\u201d \u201cBest games to play with friends,\u201d \u201cGames you need to try,\u201d and similar, and share them.<\/p>\n
The feature will likely surface a dedicated interface to add games to playlists, with code strings pointing to options like \u201cAdd game,\u201d \u201cSearch games,\u201d and \u201cSearch for games to add to your playlist\u201d from the Google Play Store\u2019s game library.<\/p>\n
One string reads \u201cPlease add at least 3 games,\u201d suggesting that there\u2019s a minimum size requirement for new playlists.<\/p>\n
Google\u2019s taking this seriously<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve added games to your new playlist, you\u2019ll likely be able to customize its look too, as hinted at by strings like \u201cAdd a title\u2026,\u201d \u201cAdd a description\u2026,\u201d and \u201cChoose color.\u201d Giving your playlist a title could be mandatory, while adding a description will likely be optional.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re not certain if giving your playlist a color will be mandatory, though if you\u2019re going through the effort of creating a custom playlist for your mobile games, giving them a color to help them stand apart (based on genre, games you\u2019ve already played, games you want to recommend to friends, etc.) makes sense.<\/p>\n
As is the case with many curation-based features, you\u2019ll have the option to edit your playlists after they\u2019ve been created, as hinted in code strings:<\/p>\n
Code<\/p>\n
Copy Text\u201cEdit playlist\u201d
\n\u201cRemove game\u201d
\n\u201cDelete playlist\u201d
\n\u201cDelete playlist?\u201d
\n\u201cDeleting playlist\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cDeleting\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cThis playlist will be permanently deleted.\u201d
\n\u201cDiscard\u201d
\n\u201cKeep editing\u201d
\n\u201cYour changes will not be saved.\u201d
\n\u201cDiscard changes?\u201d
<\/p>\n
As always, the Play Store\u2019s playlist feature might never make it out. If it does, it might not look or function exactly as described here.<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n
