Google surrendered the field of AAA game streaming with Stadia, but that won’t stop it from launching a poorly conceived web and mobile gaming platform on YouTube.
Soon, YouTube users may be able to engage with small gaming experiences called « Playables. » These would launch directly in the YouTube browser or in a mobile app on iPhone and be easily sharable between users.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Google has told YouTube employees, via an internal email, that a product called Playables was being tested. It would give users « access to games on mobile devices or desktop computers. »
Little information has been shared about this planned gaming push since it isn’t yet public.
