Google brings social videos to the Play Store to influence your next download.

The company is launching The Play Report, a new video series showcasing apps and games on Android (again, anyone who plays games on Android — please show yourselves). Currently in pilot in the US, the videos will appear on the top of the Google Play Store in an interface similar to YouTube Shorts or Amazon’s Inspire clips.

New episodes will launch “over the next few weeks” for select users, and will additionally appear on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
