Google unveils Android Performance Tuner, Android GPU Inspector, and Cloud Firestore for game developers

Google today announced a bunch of new tools for game developers: Google Play Asset Delivery, Android Performance Tuner, Android GPU Inspector, and Cloud Firestore, among others. Google’s partners also had news to share. Crytek announced Android support — Cryengine will get a full Android pipeline this summer. Qualcomm detailed its GPU updateable drivers for its latest Snapdragon chipsets.

The announcements were made at Google for Games Developer Summit, which is where Google shares its gaming announcements for GDC. With GDC postponed to August, Google this year brought its announcements online. Unlike Google Cloud Next and Google I/O, which the company canceled, Google for Games Developer Summit was likely further along in terms of planning, and so the news is going live just a week later than scheduled.
