Android is the largest fragmented operating system in the world. This made the smartphone makers publish some of their system apps on Google Play Store a few years ago. This way, they can push new features to their devices faster without relying on system updates. OnePlus is one such manufacturer having most of its system apps on the Play Store. Now, the brand’s Game Space also makes its way there with the latest update.

Almost all Android OEMs bundle a game mode on their software skin. The one by OnePlus in OxygenOS is called Game Space. It comes pre-installed on OnePlus smartphones as a system app.

All the installed games on the device show up in Game Space. It offers optimizations for gameplay such as notifications and auto-brightness settings, display options, Fnatic Mode, and more.

Now, with the latest version of the app, OnePlus has published it to the Google Play Store like its other system apps. Also, the new update brings two new notable features namely Instant Games and Game Statistics.

Enabling Instant Games in Game Space will let users play Google Play Instant Games without installing the actual game on their smartphones. All this within the Game Space app itself and thus users don’t need to hunt for instant games on the Play Store.

The second new addition is Game Statistics, which as the name says will provide information such as most played games and battery usage along with a graph as well as a pie chart.

Having said that, OnePlus users will be now able to update Game Space on their smartphones directly from the Google Play Store without waiting for system OTA to bring new features.
