Where in the ‘Google Play Console’ can I find the ‘Games App ID’?
I thought it was the reverse domain name (com.yourcompany.yourapp) but when I do that unreal shows a massage with (The game app id you provided is invalid|).

In this video I see that they use a number, where do they get it from?

Google Play Console >> Game Services >> [Click on your app] >> [Game ID under app name at top].

[ID is 12 numbers]

Is there any update on this? I also cant find it and game projects is empty.

Surprising how difficult it is to find and how little there is online about it.

It would be greate if somebody more experienced woth Google Console explained what is GameAppID. So far I have 2 controversial scenarios about Games App ID. I will update my answer if I find new details

  1. Games AppID from Project Settings is unnecessary because if you have a look at ‘UnrealEngine\Engine\Build\Android\Java\gradle\app\build.gradle’ for UE 5.4.4, Package name is used as AppID
defaultConfig {
		applicationId = PACKAGE_NAME
  1. Go to Play Console => Settings => Game Projects. There is 12 digits nunmber in Active Projects list under name of a project. But my new app is not using Play Games Services. So, Should I use this one?

To have this Games app id you need to add a game-related service on Google Play to list on the page: Settings → Manage game projects (I’m still learning English, sorry if something was confusing, I’m using the translator)

@TeryKnop @MarcosMZ Hi! Do you know where to get Games App ID if I don’t have it in the Game projects in Google Play Console ? Does that mean that I can not have ad if my app is not in the Game projects ? Do you know how to add it there ? I am really confused since AdMob shows me that “Ad serving enabled” and my app is verified, but I don’t see ad banner and not sure how to fix it.
