A beta version of Google Messages, released on October 7, was discovered to include a new section labeled "Jeux," which is French for "Games." This suggests that Google may be considering adding games to its messaging platform. According to Android Authority, the latest beta version of the app, identified as messages.android_20261002_00_RC00.phone.openbeta_dynamic, was examined by the publication's team, who found references to nine different games in the code. The games mentioned include classic titles such as chess, checkers, billiards, basketball, darts, and connect four, as well as more festive options like Cup Pong, a variation of beer pong, Crazy 8s, a card game similar to American eight, and Word Scramble, an anagram game. This section appears to be similar to GamePigeon, a third-party app available on the App Store that allows users to play short games within the iPhone's messaging app. At this time, the new game section is not available to users. Therefore, it is too early to determine what the game interface will look like or whether the listed titles will support multiplayer gameplay. However, the nature of most of these games suggests they are designed for multiple players to engage in together. It is important to note that this discovery comes from a code analysis conducted by Android Authority on the specific version of Google Messages mentioned above. This is not an official announcement, and the presence of such code does not guarantee that the feature will become publicly available. While the inclusion of games in a messaging app may seem novel, similar features have already been implemented by other platforms. For example, GamePigeon has been popular among iPhone users for allowing quick, casual gaming sessions within messages. If Google proceeds with this feature, it could offer a new way for users to interact with each other beyond traditional text or voice messages. However, until an official announcement is made, the feature remains speculative.
