YouTube has finally launched Playables for all users. For those who are unaware, Playables are games that can be played directly on YouTube. The company started testing this feature in September last year. A similar gaming experience is also provided by the streaming giant Netflix.
“Noticed anything different on YouTube lately? Over the past few months, a limited number of users in select markets have been testing a new feature called Playables — a collection of free games you can play directly on the platform,” the company announced in a blogpost.

According to YouTube, more than 75 games are now available to play directly on the platform.
YouTube describes Playables as a fun, interactive way to experience the platform — with lightweight, entertaining games like Angry Birds Showdown, Words of Wonders, Cut the Rope, Tomb of the Mask, and Trivia Crack and more.
You can also save your game progress and track your all-time best scores.
