“Avengers: Endgame” is upon us and soon we’ll be able to take our seats as the battle for the universe unfolds. Google, however, wants us to know that for Pixel owners at least, the action can take place all around us. The internet giant has released a Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Endgame” augmented reality pack for Pixel owners and it looks great.
The new Avengers AR Playmoji stickers set brings the ‘Endgame’ action to life
To mark the “Avengers: Endgame” AR sticker pack release, Google released a pretty cool ad to show them off. Okay, this might just be a way for Google to piggyback onto Avengers hype, but it does a really great job, so we’ll let it slide. As well as promoting the AR stickers, the ad also shows off some of Google’s core products.

Would you play this?The ad shows some of the bigger scenes from “Avengers: Infinity War,” the first part of the final Avengers installment. What is clever about the ad though, is that it shows the action from the perspective of everyday people caught up in the action. Of course, these are all everyday people sporting Google’s latest Pixel handset and the ad shows just how a Google smartphone could help you cope with, or even make the most of, an alien attack on your home city.
There is Google Maps picking up on the inevitable traffic jam an intergalactic invasion would cause and a lady in the coffee shop who just wants to get her work done and asks Google to play her focus playlist so she can ignore the explosive battle going on outside. There is also a guy trying to capture the perfect image from a video and, of course, there is a kid taking a selfie. As well, most of these people are interacting with their phones using their voices via Google Assistant.
The action then cuts to a couple of security guards using their Pixel phones to put the 10 surviving Avengers into the world around them. The Playmoji stickers don’t allow for selfies that are quite as epic as the ones the kid got in the ad, but they do offer something along similar lines. If you liked the old Star Wars AR Playmoji stickers and you’re an Avengers fan, you’ll love them.
The characters included in the “Avengers: Endgame” sticker pack are Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Nebula, Okoye, Captain Marvel, War Machine, Thor, Black Widow, and Rocket.
These stickers are only available for Pixel owners. If you’re a massive Avengers fan but don’t own a Pixel, don’t worry. “Avengers: Endgame” will hit the cinemas in just a few days and Google has just made it easier than ever to buy cinema tickets.
