Every release, newest first. The things you can see and use.
The mid-90s 3D shooters run two to three times faster at 640 × 480 and 800 × 600, and games drawn in high colour show their true colours.
PRO can start with a free trial of a few days, no card needed, and Go PRO in a phone's header is the size of the icons beside it. Rest the mouse on a game's cover and a larger card opens over it, with the game in motion, its name, Play and the stars to rate it.
The top lists are easier to read, on a phone too, and every list says what it ranks. Newsflash now and then tells you one true thing about a game you can play here. The meter of how often a game is played has a new look.
Your Google picture is your avatar until you upload one, and Enter in search shows every game that matches.
A game's page shows how often it is played here, and the homepage, header and footer sit better on a phone.
A game's page can open on a short, silent loop from the game in place of a still picture.
The message box has sharper buttons and more room, and the conversation scrolls without a bar beside it.
When a game's files are improved, your next play brings the new version, even if you played or installed it before.
Watch a clip you recorded while playing and keep only the part you want, then save it next to the recording.
Every message you send now shows whether it is sent, delivered or seen, and the chat box shows whether the other person is online or playing.
On a phone, the account and notification menus hang right under the top bar, and the featured game on the homepage puts its words under the picture.
When the site restarts for an update, you see a page that says so, and it comes back by itself.
Every game card, list and page now shows the same score out of five, and players' ratings decide it.
Every game page now asks what you thought of it: one to five stars, no account needed. Those stars and the reviews make one score, and the rankings use it too.
Open a game from page four and Back brings you to page four, with your filters, at the same spot.
The clip that plays when you rest the pointer on a game now covers its card from edge to edge.
Game videos play in a new player of our own, reviews can carry a YouTube video, and the collections members build have a place on the homepage.
Find the best games by what you like: ranked lists for each genre, decade, year, studio, series and more.
The catalogue, your library and the homepage rails now line up the same way, whatever screen you play on.
Choose whether a game starts with the JIT compiler right on its page, before you press Play. The catalogue's covers no longer stay dimmed after a link from the homepage.
Games with 3dfx graphics no longer flicker while you move the mouse.
Games that run straight from their CD, with nothing to install, can now stream as you play instead of downloading in full first.
"All recent" and "See all" on the homepage now open the catalogue in the order they name, and the newest games appear in the same order in both places.
The game featured at the top of the homepage is introduced with its own short description instead of a line every game shared.
Adding a large batch of games no longer holds up the site for everyone else, the status page tells a slow moment from an outage, and the offer to install the app looks like every other notice.
Play statistics read at a glance: a tidier all-time summary, a clock of the day that holds still under the pointer, and calendars that show their totals. Blog articles can open with a video.
Play statistics have more room to breathe, with a bigger genre ring and hour clock and your year across the whole page. The avatar you upload now stays, however often you sign in.
PRO adds play statistics, with charts for every session and a page for every game. Your library and the installed games manager are now part of PRO, any game can be removed from its own page, and games our team has checked from end to end wear a gold star.
A new Preservation status page shows how complete every game in the archive is, games that have everything wear a Fully preserved mark, and the catalogue can list only those.
Strategy games can get on-screen arrows or a stick that scroll the map on a phone or tablet: hold one and the map runs, let go and the cursor is back where you left it.
The first game you play by touch shows what your fingers do, you can play by tapping or as on a touchpad, and games that move their cursor at a speed of their own keep it under the pointer too.
Many games that drew their scenes slowly now run at the processor speed they were tuned for, and games that stream take all their settings the next time you play, not only the compatibility ones.
In games that draw their own mouse cursor, the cursor now sits right under your mouse or finger without capturing the mouse, a tap clicks exactly there, and a phone layout of on-screen keys can start from your desktop one.
Games whose little start program opens the real game no longer drop back to DOS right after "Now loading", streamed games get the same compatibility settings as the rest, and a game set to the classic DOSBox core really runs on it.
Levels climb slower and the top ranks now go to the people who write, post and share; the Cloud saves and Custom controls pages read well on a phone; and the homepage holds still once it has opened.
A new wall of short posts with a picture or a clip, read like a channel: react with animated emoji, leave a quick comment, follow it to hear about every new post, and see the newest right on the homepage.
The About page now shows everything you can do here, and the touch keyboard editor keeps the game moving while you work, tests with your own toggle, and copies a layout from one screen to another in a click.
The pictures behind the featured games on the homepage are now cut to the exact shape of their frame, so the game's art shows whole and sharp.
The streaming card beside Play keeps its size while it checks what is on your device, so a game's page no longer jumps as it loads.
Games from the archive are filed under their series name alone, breadcrumbs stay on one line, and the Custom controls banner on Pricing shows the game at full size.
Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Quake, Doom, Hexen and their kin now start with W A S D and mouse aim, and the touch keyboard and gamepad match.
Blog posts are set like a magazine — a centred headline, a wide cover, a narrower column of text — and the latest posts now show on the homepage.
A new Cloud saves page shows a save made on one device carrying on from the same moment on another, and the Custom controls page got a cleaner design.
Make your own touch keyboard and gamepad mapping for any game, try it in the game before you save, and share it with one press.
Profiles and your dashboard sit lower and fit long names, forum posts show who wrote them more clearly, and ranks sit properly centred.
Avatars are bigger and wear their marks in the corners, the forum is calmer and easier to find your way back in, game pages say where a game is sold today, and news posts always come with a picture.
Everyone wears a rank beside their name now. The forum opens with rooms for every kind of talk. The blog brings game news from around the web. Streamed games no longer get stuck after an uninstall.

The button for reporting a game that doesn't work stands out on every game page, and the FAQ says how to use it.
Big games that stream start three to four times sooner, their CDs come along when the game downloads for offline play, and games that remember where they were installed start again.
A game's page lists the other entries of its series, and anything wrong with a game is one click to report. The on-screen keyboard and gamepad follow the conventions thumbs expect. The membership goes by PRO.
Rest the pointer on a game's cover and it plays a few seconds of the game, and every game can get on-screen controls made by its players.
Your library has one plain button on every game, the catalogue opens with its categories, and a game's categories lead somewhere. The on-screen keyboard is laid out like a gamepad.
The settings panel folds into sections, the download indicator moves out of the way, and a save made just before you close the tab is kept.
Everything we haven't built yet is on the roadmap.
