There is a revamped app listing system, prioritising apps with high quality videos, with footage embedded as a banner at the top of the listing, and a new multi column layout displaying more information.

The ranking algorithm has also been tweaked favouring apps optimised for large screens, so they will be more likely to appear in searches. Google are even warning about apps having reduced visibility when they haven’t been optimised for larger screens.
