Following this summer’s launch of the Google Pixel Tablet, the company says it’s updating its Google Play Store to better showcase apps designed for large-screen devices. The changes will help users find high-quality apps for tablets via refreshed app listing pages, ranking and quality improvements, streamlined navigation, and a split-screen search experience, explains Google.
For starters, the new store listing pages for games will now include a video banner at the top of the page, if one’s available, which allows users to get a better sense of the gameplay offered. In addition, the apps and games details pages have been reorganized in a multi-column layout, which looks better on tablet devices and brings more of the developer’s content into view, without having to scroll down.
