YouTube Playables will offer more than 75 free games on the web and within mobile apps

Google's video service will follow in Netflix's footsteps by enabling users to play fun and simple games. Over 75 games are already available, and a new section called "Playables" will appear in the "Explore" menu.

Google's video service will follow in the footsteps of Netflix, so in addition to the classic video offer, it will also enable its users to play fun and simple games. More than 75 of them are already available at the beginning.

Over the past few months, select YouTube users have had access to a series of free little games, and soon everyone will get them. In the "Explore" menu, where you can usually find "trending" content and recommendations of the service itself on this video service, a new section will appear - "Playables".

Access to games does not require a subscription, and they are focused on "light and fun" games like Angry Birds Showdown, Words of Wonders, Cut the Rope, Tomb of the Mask, or Trivia Crack.

Playing without subscription

To begin with, there will be slightly more than 75 games, and users will be able to play all of them directly within the interface through which they normally access YouTube, both on the desktop and within mobile applications on iOS and Android.

This move is similar to that of Netflix a few years ago, but in the case of YouTube, access to games does not require a subscription, but can be played by everyone, completely free.
