After initial testing, YouTube has released its Playables feature to Android, iOS and web platforms. Playables are free-to-play games that can be directly played on the YouTube app.
The feature can be found on the Playables shelf on the main YouTube Home page or on the new Playables destination page which is reachable from the Explore menu. The platform is offering over 75 games, including Angry Birds Showdown, Cut The Rope, and Trivia Crack. The games are categorised into Action, Sports, Brain and Puzzle, Arcade, RPG and Strategy, Board and Card, Trivia and Word, and Simulation. It will add more titles soon.
