Google is about to implement some major changes to Google Play Games. The company reported this through the Android Developers Blog saying that the new changes to be implemented will help “reduce sign-in friction and unnecessary permission requests for players.” The main thing that will be changed is the sign in process where Google wants players to be able to sign in once for each account and not every time before they want to play a game.
