YouTube will now feature mini-games on its platform in addition to videos. YouTube's latest feature aims to host small mobile games called "Playables".
Currently available to a limited number of beta test users, "Playables" appears as a small tab next to your content feed on the homepage. These mini-games can be played on both desktop and mobile platforms.
One example is a game called "Stack Bounce", where users guide a ball through rings. This game was previously featured on Google's gaming service called GameSnacks.
YouTube's gaming feature comes at a time when rival platforms like Netflix and TikTok are also showing interest in games. However, YouTube's move in this area appears to be in its early stages.
