Today we hosted the second annual Google Play Live, an interactive livestream featuring popular YouTube Creators, hidden gems on the Play Store, PC gaming with Google Play Games and much more.
This year, we brought the livestream directly to the Play Store and gave viewers the chance to play games and explore apps during the show alongside YouTube Creators like Anna Akana, Crissa Jackson and Arif Zahir. This is part of our ongoing work to help you discover apps and games in new ways. Look out for more ways we’re bringing live entertainment like this to the Play Store.
Play Live officially kicked off Labor Day Deals Week, with new deals and rewards available now through September 6. Missed the show? Don’t worry, we’ve rounded up some of the biggest offers we announced.
