The Google Play Store Will Add Expanded Game Categories In February 2014

You don't have to spend much time on the Play Store to see that games are a big part of the service and the platform. Google has already done a lot to highlight gaming with Play Store categories and landing page promotions, but starting in February, developers and end users will have roughly three times as many categories to browse through. The new game categories are as follows:

• Action


• Adventure


• Arcade


• Music


• Role Playing


• Simulation


• Strategy


• Puzzle


• Card


• Casino


• Casual


• Board


• Family


• Trivia


• Word


• Racing


• Sports

That's seventeen categories, up from the previous six (Arcade & Action, Brain & Puzzle, Cards & Casino, Casual, Racing, and Sports Games).
