The company has announced that users will be able to download and run the apps that can be used on Android phones and tablets on Chromebook laptops.
All Chromebooks will eventually support the Play Store but initially only developers will be given access.
The Play Store will be compatible with the M53, ASUS Chromebook Flip, the Acer Chromebook R 11 and the Chromebook Pixel from June. More than 60 models will support the store and apps later this year.
"This means you’ll be able to download and use Android apps, so you can make a Skype call, work with Office files and be productive offline -- or take a break with games like Minecraft, Hearthstone or Clash of Clans," the company said in a blogpost.
The announcement is not completely unexpected. In April, eagle-eyed Reddit users spotted an option that would allow the apps to run on Google's Chrome OS.
When Google launched ARC it also introduced Vine, Evernote, Duolingo and other Android apps to Chromebooks, with the promise to develop more in the future.
