One of the holy grails for avid mobile gamers is being able to record your screen – there have always been ways to do this, most involving root, but there hasn’t really been a way for every Tom, Dick and Harry to do so, until now.

It doesn’t appear like there are any restrictions on what games you’ll be able to play, but we’ll find out more when the app actually rolls out. Google says that the updated Play Games app will be rolling out in the US and UK first “over the coming days” and a global rollout will follow soon after. Make sure to keep an eye out for the update:
