How to play games with Genymotion SaaS (Cloud)?

Overview

It is possible to install and play Android games with Genymotion SaaS.
There are several caveats to consider.

Google Play Store status

Google Play Store is not preinstalled.
You need to install the Open Gapps package to get Google Play Store.
We have made our best to make the installation as simple as possible: you will find all the detailed steps in How to install Google Play Store (and other Google Apps) in Genymotion?

Hardware and image considerations

Most games are only available for Android arm64.
Make sure to use an arm64 image for your virtual device, instead of x86/x86_64: very few games are available for Android x86, especially modern games.
For best result, we recommend using Android 14, or Android 15 arm64 images.
