YouTube Premium subscribers are now allowed to play mobile games for free directly in the app without having to download them.
After the Stadia fiasco, Google’s next adventure in the gaming world is much smaller in magnitude. Back in September, the search giant announced a new YouTube feature called Playables.
Announced as an “experimental” feature, the new perk allowed users to play games in the YouTube app without having to actually download anything. Only a limited number of users had access to the new Playables tab, which is why we didn’t know what the new feature looks like.
