Google Play starts rolling out to Chrome OS stable

As promised, Google has finally brought the Google Play store to Chrome OS. Android apps, Android games, and media content from the store are all now finally available on Chromebooks running the latest stable build. But that still doesn’t mean all Chromebook owners can use the store.

This continues to be a gradual rollout — even on the stable channel, Google is limiting the launch in multiple ways. “A beta release of the Play store is available to users now on the Acer R11 and Asus Flip (and coming soon to Pixel 2015) and can be enabled from the Settings page,” a Google spokesperson told VentureBeat. “The team is hard at work making the experience great for users before making the Play Store available by default on these Chromebooks.” Update on September 26: The Chromebook Pixel (2015) now has the Google Play store as well.
