The Google System Updates for January 2023 include a revamp of Play Games profiles and what they’re used for, along with some other tweaks.<\/p>\n

While major changes to Android used to typically arrive with monthly and yearly Android updates, Google has gradually put systems in place to make it possible to update phones with nothing more than the Play Store. For example, new features can arrive through updates to Google Play Services, the Play Store, and Android’s ever-expanding monthly \u201cPlay System Updates.\u201d Each month, Google outlines the new features in this key trio, which the company refers to as the \u201cGoogle System.\u201d<\/p>\n

The easiest way to check whether you need to update Google Play Services on your phone is to follow a direct link to the app’s Play Store listing and update from there, if available. To update the Play Store, tap your avatar in the corner, then \u201cSettings.\u201d Under the \u201cAbout\u201d section, you’ll see an option to \u201cUpdate Play Store.\u201d Meanwhile, Google Play system updates can be found through the Settings app, under About phone > Android version > Google Play system update.<\/p>\n

Things are starting simply for January 2023’s Google System Updates, with Play Games getting an overhaul of its user profiles. No specifics are shared, but the company lists the update as being for both \u201cPhone\u201d and \u201cPC,\u201d suggesting that this is related to the recent release of Play Games for PC. Arriving soon as part of Google Play Services version 23.01, the new Play Games profiles will support more \u201cusers and use cases.\u201d<\/p>\n
