Google is rolling out simultaneous Android app downloads on the Play Store.

Only two at a time, though — try a third, and it’ll be pending until one of those finishes. My Pixel 6 can already do this, but Google often stages rollouts, so you may not have it just yet.

According to 9to5Google, this only applies to new downloads — app updates will still come down the internet tubes single file.
