It’s no secret that Google will be introducing a UI revamp with Android 4.4 KitKat. The leaks, until now, have suggested updated icons for status bar along with transparency for the navigation bar as well as the status bar.

Now, the folks over at Android Police have got their hands on the v4.4 update for the Play Store. The new version contains a UI revamp and contains the new hamburger style slide-out drawer. The hamburger drawer will take over some of the contents that are currently present in the menu overflow button in the Action Bar including the Redeem option.

The AP folks also suggest that Google will be revamping everything in the Play Store for a more cards like UI, as seen on the recent Gmail for Android update. In all probability, Google would be pushing out this new version of the Play Store around the same time it announces KitKat.
