Is Google Play Games with Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11 a single entity?
No, it's not. Google Play Games is its own project distinct from the initiative enabling Android apps to run on Windows 11 by Microsoft.
With its project, Microsoft collaborated with Amazon to bring Android apps and games to Windows 11 through the Amazon Appstore. To achieve this, Microsoft built a Windows Subsystem for Android platform on Windows 11, but Google has created a separate app to bring the capability of playing Android games to Windows computers.
