YouTube has taken a significant step towards gamification among digital platforms. The company is expanding the game tests it started in recent years, previously available only to certain Premium users, and is now opening the gaming feature named ‘Playables’ to all users. With this new feature, users will be able to play various games directly through YouTube without the need for downloading any games.
Angry Birds Can Be Played on YouTube
The ‘Playables’ feature was initially available with a limited number of games. Now, YouTube has announced that it will offer over 75 games to users. These games include popular titles such as Angry Birds, Trivia Crack, Cut the Rope, and Words of Wonders. The company notes that these games will be accessible on both web and mobile (Android and iOS) platforms.
Extra Gaming Features Offered by YouTube
YouTube will also offer features such as saving progress in games and tracking of high scores. These features could make the gaming experience more personal and competitive. Additionally, there will be an option to share favorite games with friends, which could enhance social interaction.
According to YouTube, it may take a few months for the ‘Playables’ feature to reach all users globally. During this period, users will need to update the platform and check the ‘Explore’ tab for the Playables section to see if they can access the new games. YouTube describes this new feature as a fun way to spend time on the platform.
