Google Play Store 4.4 Update Rolling Out Now, KitKat Up Next

Over the past two or three weeks weve seen Google update every one of its major applications on Android. From YouTube, Gmail, Hangouts, Maps and more, and now the latest one is the Google Play Store. Last week we shared details regarding a brand new slightly redesigned Google Play Store, and today its officially hitting users devices.

The new Google Play Store is version 4.4.21, not to be confused with Android 4.4 KitKat the OS, and is hitting smartphones and tablet as we speak. Its been slightly redesigned with a brand new slide-out navigation system, and a few other behind the scenes tweaks. The important thing here being that the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat are expected any day now, and with this being one of the last updates by Google, we should be learning more soon.

The new Play Store was first spotted by Android Police, whos also pulled the file for download, as these updates can take up to 2 weeks at times to arrive for all users, and many would rather not wait. According to the reports the new Play Store has removed the menu-accessible buttons and pop-up to a simple slide-out navigation drawer off to the left. Just like weve seen with YouTube and countless other apps as of late.
