YouTube Testing New "Playables" Feature to Integrate Simple Games
- YouTube is experimenting with a new feature called "Playables" that would allow users to play basic games through the YouTube website or app.
- Google employees have been invited to test the new games, with one called "Stack Bounce" currently available.
- The business model and exact workings of Playables are still unknown.
- The technology from Google's now-defunct Stadia cloud gaming service could potentially power Playables.
- Playables seems aimed more at casual gaming than competing with major gaming platforms like Xbox or Nvidia.
