There are only about 100 games in the beta, but more will be added in the future.
That file is a virtual 512GB drive for the emulator, and you cant really change that right now.
Should You Play Your Mobile Games on Google Play Games on PC?
Mobile games werent made with a keyboard and mouse in mind, so the experience can sometimes be awkward.
However, its excellent for shooters like Knives Out or Free Fire MAX.
It probably even gives you an edge, since aiming with a mouse is superior to a touch screen.
