American tech giant Google has announced the launch of the Play Pass section in the Play store to offer over 1,000 apps and games without advertisement and provide access to their premium features on a fixed monthly or annual charge.
The Play Pass collection will include titles from sports, puzzles, or action games like Jungle Adventures, World Cricket Battle 2, and Monument Valley.
It will also offer helpful apps such as Utter, Unit Converter and AudioLab, Photo Studio Pro, etc.
“Play Pass will offer a high-quality and curated collection of over 1,000 titles across 41 categories from developers across 59 countries, including many from India. Users can get started with a one-month trial and subscribe for Rs 99 per month or Rs 889 for the year. Users can also avail a prepaid one-month subscription for Rs 109,” the company said in a statement on Monday.
Google Family group managers, as registered on Google’s family app, will be able to share their Play Pass subscription with up to five other members, PTI reported from Washington.
On the launch of the Play Pass subscription, Google India Play Partnerships director Aditya Swamy said, “We want to deliver products and programs that the Play community – both users and developers – find value in, and we are always looking for new ways to do this. With the launch of Play Pass in India, we are excited to offer a robust collection of unlocked titles to our users and looking forward to partnering with more local developers to build amazing experiences users love.”
The Play Pass feature will be rolled out across the country during the week.
