There's no word on when Google Wallet will make .pkpass support widely available to all users, but since it's already appearing to some people, we feel it's right around the corner.

Google Wallet supporting .pkpass files would be a boon for the app as a wide variety of apps and services use this format to send digital tickets and passes to the iPhone.

Google Wallet looks set to become much more useful by supporting Apple Wallet files, it'll finally be able to open and use tickets and passes created/saved in Apple's proprietary .pkpass file format.

Some Google Wallet users had already received support for “.pkpass” files in March as a test. These types of files are what Apple Wallet uses to read, store, and manage pass data.

For some time now, Google has been working to bring support for “pkpass” files to Wallet. These files are used to add passes to Apple Wallet on the iPhone.

I used the Ad Guard firewall to disable the app's access to the internet, so even though no ad was actually loaded up, the app still added the .pkpass to Google Wallet after a 30 second wait.
