Features

Google Play Pass gives users access to a curated catalogue of a variety of apps and games taken directly from the Google Play Store without any ads or the need for additional in-app purchases. Play Pass can be shared with up to five other family members.

App developers who wish to offer their app as part of the subscription can apply to be considered for inclusion in the service and according to Google, "will receive royalties based algorithmic methods that incorporate signals which capture how users value all types of content".[6][7]
