Your helpful in-game overlay just got even better

Sometimes when you’re in the thick of an intense battle or locked in a fierce race to the finish, the last thing you want is to be taken out of the action.

Play Games Sidekick is a helpful in-game overlay that organizes game-relevant information to keep you in the game. See developer videos, check your Achievements, Play Points bonuses, Streaks, and other gamer profile-powered features all in one place.

And now Sidekick has even more helpful features, and is available globally in thousands of titles.

Disclaimer: Rolling out globally to select devices and markets. Check responses. Compatibility varies.

With Sidekick, you never need to leave your game to find the information you want. It organizes and curates all the relevant information you need, and can be accessed by swiping from the side of your screen while you play.

Sidekick gathers everything you need to know about your gamer profile on Play, including achievements, streaks, and Play Points. You can even use relevant offers in game without exiting, and spend Play Points on in-app purchases without the fuss. Everything Sidekick does means you can spend less time searching and more time playing.

And now you can see which friends are playing, check league rankings, and compare achievements in real-time.

This in-game overlay can be opened at any time, and closed whenever you want to focus on your game. Plus, you can remove Sidekick at any time in the Settings menu.
