Google Play Store games and apps are always free to download and play. But some of its apps needs payment to be able to download. Some games need in-game purchases to be able to level up faster or boost your character power or ability and more. There are various ways to be able to add a payment method to Google Play like PayPal, a debit card, Coins.ph and GCash here in the Philippines.
