Google will auch in diesem Jahr eine Reihe an Apps küren, die dann bald mit den Google Play Awards ausgestattet werden. Genauer gesagt gibt es den Award einen Tag bevor die IO von Google startet, die hauseigene Entwicklerkonferenz des Konzers. Google hat sich mehrere Kategorien ausgedacht, darunter die größten Hits des Jahres, die coolsten Start-Ups, die beste VR/AR Erfahrung, das beste durch die Community entstehende Spiel und einiges mehr. 45 Kandidaten bzw. Apps/Spiele sind es insgesamt.
Lange wollen wir euch nicht auf die Folter spannen, folgend findet ihr eine Auflistung aller Nominierten und theoretisch sollten die auch im Play Store hinter diesem Link zu finden sein.
