Google Play Games gets new developer features: Key player stats, alerts, and twice the Cloud Save storage
Google today announced three new features in Google Play Games Services: key player stats, alerts, and double the Cloud Save storage. In other words, the company is making it easier for developers to understand what players are doing in their game, manage their game features, and store more data in the Google cloud.
If you’re an Android developer, you can now see key player stats directly in the Developer Console. These include the number of players signed into your game through Google, the percentage of players who unlocked an achievement, and how many scores are posted to your leaderboards.
Next up, you can now see Game Services alerts in the Developer Console, which should help you identify issues and optimizations in your app. These can include anything from incorrect IDs for achievements or leaderboards, forgetting to hit the publish button, or having your throttled because you accidentally called a method in a tight loop.
