The Google Play Games on PC developer emulator is now available for anyone to download. This developer-focused build lets you deploy games via ADB sideloading, adjust some graphics and hardware settings, and more. There are two tracks to pick from: Stable and Beta.
The developer emulator build was announced back in March during the Google for Games Developer Summit but was only open to approved developers who filled out a form.

After updating to Android 14, some users with a Pixel 6 and later who have multiple users or profiles set up have been unable to access any of their media storage on the primary user.
Google now says they "have already pushed out a Google Play system update" that will "help prevent this issue from being triggered on additional devices." Google anticipates that "a system update will repair the issue and restore access to media files without requiring a factory reset."
Unfortunately, if your device is "stuck in a 'Pixel is starting' boot loop", which happens when the device repeatedly reboots and the user declines factory resetting their device when prompted on the Android recovery screen, then there currently isn't a fix. Howevr, Google says they are "investigating methods that may be able to recover some data" and that they'll "provide more information as soon as it is available."
If you have a Pixel phone on Android 14 and are not currently having this issue, or you already factory reset your phone after encountering this issue, then it's recommended that you don't create or log into a secondary user on the device until Google pushes the OTA update fixing the issue.

Google's trying out a fix for the storage issue on Android 14
Users with multiple users/profiles having issues accessing their storage can now sign their Pixel 6 and newer devices for a test OTA with a supposed fix for this issue. Google states that the update will arrive within the next 24 hours and can take 1-2 hours to fully install.
To receive the update, fill in the Google Form with the information of your device such as the model, IMEI and serial numbers and carrier.
Sadly, there's no fix for bootlooping devices with the only workaround being a Factory Data Reset.
You can fill the Google Form right here.

Here are two new features coming to Google Photos:
1) Photo Stacks: Google Photos will now automatically identify and group similar photos that were taken close together into a Photo Stack and select the top pick that best captures that moment. You'll have the option to select your own top pick, modify stacks, or turn off Photo Stacks entirely.
2) Better screenshot and document organization: Google Photos will now better identify and automatically categorize screenshots and documents into more helpful albums like IDs, receipts, and event information. Also, Photos will automatically identify things like dates in screenshots so you can quickly add a reminder in your calendar.

Google has published a Play Store listing for the Pixel's new system "AICore" app that I previously discovered in Android 14 Beta 3.
The denoscription for the app says it powers "intelligent features across Android".
"AI-driven features run directly on your device using the latest foundation models."
"To keep those features smart, your device updates the AI models automatically."
"AI Core manages these updates while providing AI functionality to other apps."
If you access AI Core's Play Store listing on a non-Pixel 8 series device, it says the app isn't compatible with your device. Google previously said the Pixel 8 Pro will run the company's generative AI "foundation" models on-device, so this app could be what installs and updates those models. Though interestingly, the AI Core stub is installed on other Pixel builds plus the Play Store listing has the required OS as Android 12+, so who knows!
H/T Nail Sadykov from the Google News Telegram group for spotting the listing!
