The Google Play Store has apps for smartphones, apps optimized for tablets and other big screens, as well as apps ready to run on a Wear OS smartwatch. Now, the folks athave discovered hints that Google is working on a new category for a new product type. It seems this product type may be extended reality headsets.

Right now, there are no other indications of what this could be, but it looks most likely to be a category for the Google Store. It may be ready in time for the next generation of Android-powered mixed-reality headsets. This will obviously make it easier to find apps for your VR or AR headset. Also, this would give XR headsets the legitimacy and recognition they deserve as a valid type of device nowadays. So, I like the fact that Google is working on this category, and hope to see it soon officially launched in the Play Store.
