YouTube’s Playables section lets users play a selection of games on the platform; here’s how the functionality works.

YouTube deployed Playables in late 2023 as an experimental feature, giving its user base access to select games without the need for a download.

The functionality is accessible on the YouTube app (version 18.33 and up) for Android and iOS users. On desktop, Playables works on the following browsers – Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

To play available games on YouTube, click the ‘Playables’ widget on YouTube’s home page, or visit the official Playables page. From there, users can jump into any interactive experience by pressing the ‘Start Game’ button on a game card.

Saving and sharing Playables represents another option, accessible through the three dots icon at the bottom-right of each card.
