The Google Play Pass, which is the Android equivalent of Apple Arcade on iOS devices, offers access to 1,000 paid apps and games for 6,500 won ($4.71) per month.

Subscribers to Google Play Pass can play paid games included in the service and enjoy ad-free versions of ad-supported apps. Other benefits include discounts on in-app purchases and exclusive in-game items. Each game on Google Play Pass has a monthly discount of up to 6,500 won.

Google Play Pass features more than 30 popular free games, such as Solo Leveling: Arise, EA SPORTS FC Online M, and more. The list of games and apps available through Google Play Pass will be updated every month.
