Google's 'Get Game Help' Feature Aims to Revolutionize Mobile Gaming Assistance
January 13, 2025
Google is developing a new feature called 'Get Game Help' for its AI-powered Circle to Search tool, aimed specifically at mobile gamers.
This functionality is particularly beneficial for players of puzzle games who may find themselves stuck on certain objectives.
The feature was uncovered in unreleased Android code during an APK teardown by Android Authority.
Despite its potential, the feature faces challenges that need to be addressed before a broader rollout can take place.
It remains unclear if 'Get Game Help' will integrate with Google’s Game Dashboard or if it can independently recognize games.
Currently, the 'Get Game Help' button can appear for any app, indicating that the feature is still under development.
When activated, 'Get Game Help' allows users to take a screenshot of their current game and performs a reverse image search on Google for assistance.
Initially launched on Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S24 devices, Circle to Search has since expanded to other smartphone brands, including Xiaomi.
Since its launch in January 2024, Circle to Search has received frequent updates to improve the AI-powered search experience.
This feature, still in early development, reflects Google's commitment to enhancing gaming assistance through Circle to Search.
Circle to Search allows users to quickly look up information by outlining a circle around content on their screens.
Currently, the 'Get Game Help' feature is not widely available, activating for all apps instead of specifically targeting gaming applications.
