An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
Although the section is not live in the current Google Play Store release, we managed to get an early look at it. As you can see in the following screenshot, it will appear within the Games tab on the Play Store under a new Continue playing header.

The section has a carousel featuring all the games installed on your phone, with a Play button underneath. If you haven’t played one of the games yet, its listing will show exactly when you installed it on your phone. Otherwise, it will show when you last played the game.
The new Continue playing section is not live in version 43.4.23-31 of the Google Play Store, but it seems ready for rollout. Google could release it to users with a future update, and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s widely available.
