Google rolling out YouTube Playables, lightweight casual games available for free
Google is rolling out YouTube Playables, a collection of free games you can play directly on the platform, to all users worldwide.
Not to be outdone by Netflix, which has offered a selection of mobile games since 2021, Google has done something similar with YouTube Playables, a collection of lightweight games available on the mobile app and YouTube.com.
These HTML5 games don’t require installation. They’re playable directly on the YouTube platform, with game progress and scores saved in your Google account.
Google expanding YouTube Playables to all users
Playables are meant to entertain you for a couple of minutes. According to the official YouTube blog, the Playables section hosts both titles unavailable on the App Store and everyone’s favorites like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds Showdown, etc.
You can access and play these games on the web by visiting youtube.com/playables. Alternatively, click the button in the top-left corner of YouTube’s web interface, which looks like three horizontal lines, and choose Playables from the Explore section.
In the mobile app, select the Home tab, hit the icon resembling a compass near the top-left corner, and choose Playables in the side menu.
75+ games available at launch
For some time, Google has been testing Playables with a subset of the YouTube user base. Today, the feature began rolling out to all users. It may take a while until everyone gets Playables, so check back later if you don’t have them yet.
More than 75 free titles are available to play on your iPhone and iPad at launch. These games don’t work on desktop platforms like macOS, Windows and Linux.
If you’re not a fan of casual gaming and prefer something to challenge your gray matter, the News app has some nice crossword puzzles and word games.
