Have you been hoping to access your Android apps on Windows 11? Android emulators are not perfect, so having another option is good, especially if it's officially supported by Microsoft. Now, the company has confirmed that a public preview is coming soon.
In an official blog post, Microsoft's Panos Panay that Android apps for Windows 11 are coming in February 2022. There will be a public preview (beta) for Windows 11 users to test Android apps. The apps will be available through the Microsoft Store thanks to Microsoft's partnership with Amazon and Intel. As a reminder, these public previews are available only if you've registered for the Windows Insider Program. In addition, Google confirmed that Google Play Games would be added to Windows 11.
