Currently Chrome OS version 53 is rolling out via the dev channel on Chrome OS and includes among other things, access to the full Google Play store and all the wonderful apps within. Sadly this is only working on the ASUS Chromebook Flip so far, but it will be coming to most recently released Chromebooks over the coming weeks.
This is still very early in development and many bugs and issues still need to be worked out both by Google and app developers. That being said if you will like to try out your favorites applications for yourself follow these steps.
•Go to Chrome OS settings.
•You can access this either by going to the profile icon in the lower right corner and pressing settings, or by typing “Chrome://settings” into your search bar.
•Look for “About Chrome OS” near the top of the page
•Click “More info”
•Click “Change Chanel” and select the Developer channel.
•From there let the update download and reboot the Chromebook.
I haven’t been able to test this functionality enough just yet to say how well they run overall, but in my experience so far it’s been pretty hit and miss. Angry Birds, Dead Trigger & Marvel Contest of Champions all ran fine and when it came to gameplay, they all ran fairly smoothly with no lag. I did encounter minor moments where the touchscreen stopped responding but its still great overall
