Play Pass Content Lead

Play Pass launched two years ago to offer a new way to experience Google Play. Subscribers have enjoyed all-you-can-play access to hundreds of games and apps, completely free of ads or in-app purchases, with new titles added monthly. And we’ve been pretty busy since then. Play Pass is now available in 90+ countries and after launching with 350+ titles, we’ve added nearly 600 more to make your subscription even better with new content to discover every month. This includes 100+ teacher-approved titles, giving parents and kids access to great games and learning apps completely free of ads or in-app purchases.

To celebrate the past two years, we’re highlighting 10 titles we think best show what Play Pass has to offer. If you want to keep the party going, you can dive into our full catalog of 950+ titles, and check out the new additions every month.
