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.
