Google has confirmed a major Google Play Games update rolling out on September 23, 2025, bringing gaming stats, achievements, and milestones to user profiles. This move aims to make the Android gaming experience more interactive and personalized.
However, the catch is data privacy. Google will now collect details like which mobile games you play, when you play, and your in-game activity. Developers will continue receiving profile insights and usage data, enhancing game development and engagement analytics.
While these updates promise better mobile gaming performance tracking and social features, there’s no opt-out option. Concerned players can delete their Google Play Games profile or even their Google account to avoid sharing data.
The good news is that Google Play Games is optional—you can still download and enjoy Android games from the Play Store without using it. With the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold launch and growing focus on gaming on Android, this change signals Google’s push toward a more data-driven gaming ecosystem.
