TL;DR
  • Google has announced that its Play Games Sidekick overlay will soon expand globally.
  • It will also show you which friends are playing the same game and let you track their achievements.
  • This menu overlay offers shortcuts for screenshots/recording, while also letting you view achievements and AI-based tips.

Many Android phones offer a gaming overlay, which lets you view and tweak settings during a gaming session. However, Google introduced its own Play Games Sidekick overlay last year, bringing AI-generated gaming tips and more. Now, the company is expanding this menu.
