Playables offers a convenient and accessible gaming experience. There’s no need to download additional apps or create new accounts. Users can simply browse the Playables shelf on the YouTube homepage or explore the new Playables destination page accessible from the Explore menu. Here, they’ll find a library of over 75 games, encompassing various genres like trivia, racing, arcade-style action, and word games.

The game selection leans towards casual titles suitable for short bursts of play. This aligns with YouTube’s core functionality, where users often consume content in bite-sized chunks. Whether waiting for a video to load or taking a break between clips, Playables offers a quick and engaging way to pass the time.

The games within Playables are built using HTML5 technology, ensuring broad compatibility across various devices. Users with Android smartphones and tablets running Android 14 (or higher) can access Playables directly within the YouTube app. Compatibility extends to select Android 10, 11, 12 and 13 devices with high memory or 64-bit processors. For iOS users, Playables is currently available on iPhone and iPad devices running iOS 14 and above within the YouTube app. Desktop users with Chrome, Safari, or Firefox can also access Playables through their web browsers.
