I want to play Android games on Ubuntu 18.04. Some games are linked to my Google account so I probably need to run the Play Games and Play Store.

Note that similar questions have been posted here before but those posts are quite old and the main answers no longer seems to apply to 18.04 and current state of tech.

    Actually, the answers with Android x86 are still relevant; you can also try Prime OS. Both of these solutions require VM software, like Virtualbox or QEMU. – ajgringo619 Nov 26 '19 at 23:37
  • @ajgringo619 - I am sure there might be answers in those olds posts that might still be be relevant, but the top/main answers may not be relevant given their age. I made this comment to make it clear to the mods why my question is not a duplicate post.

    Thanks for your suggestions. Any chance you could post them as answers below?

There are (2) complete Android OS platforms that I've have good luck with:

I have only run these under a virtual environment (Virtualbox and QEMU), but they can be installed as a dual-boot. Android x86 is more mature than Prime OS.

Now, if you want to run Android apps natively, there is Anbox (https://anbox.io/). It's harder to setup, and does not support Google Play out-of-the-box, but it looks promising.
