Playing an Android game on PC previously involved using third party emulator software like BlueStacks. But now that the Google Play Games Beta for PC is now available in Malaysia, such things will be a thing of the past. For its list of supported games, at least.

As the name suggests, the Google Play Games PC software allows you to play Android games on PC. By signing into your Google account, your progress is also synced from one platform to another. Though as mentioned, this only works for games that are currently available via the PC software. In addition to syncing game progress, you also gain Google Play Points when you make in-app purchases via Google Play Games.
