To Pixel 8/8 Pro owners here, is this true? Are you really unable to install Geekbench and 3D Mark from Google Play? What about a regular install using those apps’ APKs?

EDIT: some owners now report that they can install those apps, so it could have been just a Play Store issue and not a deliberate block from Google’s side.

    I just installed Geekbench 6 and 3dmark on my Pixel 7a running Android 14 without any issues, so I doubt it has anything to do with the OS. Let’s see whether Pixel 8/8 pro owners can tell us if the APKs can be installed and whether those apps function correctly.

      They can now be installed from the Play Store and both apps work without issue.
