Google adds new benefits to YouTube Premium service

After the Stadia fiasco, Google’s next adventure in the world of video games is much smaller in scale. 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 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.

Less than a week ago, Android Authority posted several screenshots showing the Playables tab, thus predicting today’s launch. While the new feature is only available in select countries, it’s a sign that Google plans to expand Playables globally.

According to Droid life, only YouTube Premium members benefit from the new Playables feature. If you’re a Premium subscriber, you should receive a notification from YouTube letting you know about Playables.

Just like Netflix, YouTube Playables allows Premium subscribers to play games directly within the app on desktop and mobile devices. The new Playables section should be displayed alongside other content on YouTube’s home feed.

Currently, there are almost three dozen mobile games available for free, which is quite surprising since Google initially announced that it would offer the games on both mobile and desktop devices.

What’s even more surprising is that the games are only available for free until March 28, 2024. It’s very unlikely that anyone would pay for such a service, especially since other companies are offering games for free. similar advantages.
