YouTube Introduces ‘Playables’ Game Arcade for Premium Subscribers: Here’s How to Enable the Feature
YouTube is expanding its offerings to Premium subscribers, adding a few new experimental features for its paying members to try out. The video-hosting and streaming service already has a major presence in gaming, but now YouTube Premium members can actually play games on YouTube, without any downloads. The platform has rolled out ‘Playables,' a new collection of over 30 arcade games that can be played on the YouTube app on Android, iOS, and Web.
YouTube Premium members received a notification for new features on the app over the last week. Paying subscribers now have the option to enable Playables on the platform and start playing games instantly without needing to download them.
To play games on YouTube, launch the app on Android or iOS, or head to the YouTube website on Web. Users can find a Playables shelf by scrolling down on the homepage or find the Playables option in the explore menu on the app. Make sure, however, to turn on the Play games on YouTube option on the experimental new features page. This can also be accessed on the YouTube app on mobile by tapping on your profile icon on the bottom right, scrolling down to ‘Your Premium benefits', and then tapping on ‘Try experimental new features.'
Playables currently features 37 games, which include action games like Angry Birds Showdown and Cannon Balls 3D, puzzle titles like Daily Crossword and Brain Out, and card games like Daily Solitaire and Gin Rummy. It's also worth noting that the Playables feature is available to Premium members until March 28. The arcade service could later see a wider rollout to subscribers and add more premium games in the future, like the Netflix Games service.
