The Google-owned video-sharing platform is reportedly testing an online game offering that could give users the ability to play games via the YouTube website on desktop or the YouTube app via iOS and Android devices.<\/p>\n As reported by The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, the offering would be called \u201cPlayables\u201d and would feature arcade-style games like Stack Bounce, where players use a bouncing ball to smash through layers of bricks.<\/p>\n In a statement provided to TechCrunch, a company spokesman declined to confirm the experiment but said, \u201cGaming has long been a focus at YouTube. We\u2019re always experimenting with new features but have nothing to announce right now.\u201d<\/p>\n When Google initially announced in a blog post<\/a> that Stadia would shut down, the company also hinted that the underlying technology that powers the gaming service could be applied across \u201cother parts of Google like YouTube, Google Play, and our Augmented Reality (AR) efforts,\u201d the company wrote in September.<\/p>\n If YouTube were to move forward with this new gaming initiative, it\u2019s our guess that Google would reuse the code it developed for Stadia.<\/p>\n Stadia launched<\/a> in 2019 and let users play games directly from the cloud rather than downloading games to a console. It also had a feature on YouTube called Crowd Choice,<\/a> where creators could livestream a game they\u2019re playing on Stadia and let viewers answer polls in the chat section. However, the service struggled to reach enough players and shut down in January of this year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
