It looks like YouTube wants to be your next gaming platform
You hop onto YouTube to see other people play games, but the company might let you play games yourself. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal (via Engadget), the company could be looking to be your next gaming platform. YouTube is testing Playables, a way to let you play games on the platform.
A streaming service offering games? If that sounds familiar, then you know about Netflix’s gaming service. If you have an active account, then you’ll gain access to a selection of exclusive games. They’re both available on Android and iOS devices.
YouTube might let you play games on the platform with Playables
Right now, this is still in the early testing stages, so there’s no telling if this will see the light of day. According to the report, YouTube is doing early testing for this feature. By early testing, we mean that only employees were invited to see the product.
Basically, Playables will allow you to play certain games using the YouTube platform. An internal email uncovered by the Wall Street Journal says that it wouldn’t matter if you’re using the mobile platform or the website, you’ll still have access to these games.
At this point, we’re still wondering what kind of games YouTube will bring to Playables. We only know about one game, and that’s Stack Bounce. You’ve probably seen the ads for this game and games like it. There’s a bouncing ball on a tower with layers of circular blocks. You have to break as many layers as you can.
When it comes to games, this is as simple as it gets, so we can bet on there being a slew of simple mobile games like these on the Playables platform. However, this is all early testing, so we don’t know what other games to expect.
If this service is like Netflix Gaming, then you should expect a wide range of mobile games. While it’s testing a popular game, we can’t rule out exclusive titles for the platform. Only time will tell if the company plans on releasing this product.
