Launched in September of 2019 in response to Apple Arcade, Google Play Pass provides subscription-based access to a wide variety of Android games that can be shared with 5 family members. Unlike Apple Arcade, Google's collection doesn't include original game titles. Instead, it bundles a massive array of well established games and adds a robust list of useful apps on top.
Some of the apps and games in Google's bundle may have a bit of a bad rep due to intrusive ads but the subscription alleviates that as the titles are all provided ad-free with no in-app purchases. Everything is unlocked.
This list focuses on some of the biggest but also a few highly notable but lesser known titles in the bundle. You'll also find the full list of titles available in the collection using the tag and platform filters as follows.

Incidentally, there are some truly outstanding children's titles too:

I hope you find something useful in this list. Or maybe the full lists of titles are more your cup of tea? There are over 300 titles to enjoy at this time. Some might not yet be added on AlternativeTo. Others might not yet have the google-play-pass tags added. Feel free to add them if so, or you can mention them and I'll do my best to get them added.
Any questions or suggestions, feel free to mention below!
