Games on YouTube? It is one of the most popular content on the video platform, but only in its audiovisual form. However, in the future it could go from just watching to playing, initially, based on online gamesas leaked to the press.

It wouldn’t be the first time gaming has been discussed on YouTube. In fact, it has been many, many years since this possibility was first mentioned and in the same sense as it is done now: for online games, that is, for games that you can play from a browser. Don’t expect anything else because it doesn’t seem to be the case.

That’s at least according to information published by The Wall Street Journal, obtained from leaked internal communications between YouTube employees, which refers to a “new service called Playables”, which the media attributed to a plan proposed by the YouTube CEO to explore new revenue streams in light of the “slowing of advertising”. .

There aren’t many other details on the matter, other than the possible name of the new YouTube section, Playables, which the service will be based on online games and that it will work on PC through the YouTube website, as well as in the platform’s mobile apps, both Android and iOS. Of course, this would be a free ad-supported service.

The truth is that they say something else. Take the game as an example: Stack Bouncea popular online title that you can play in your browser, and if its name doesn’t sound familiar, it most likely will when you check it out, as it has gone viral on multiple occasions on various social networks.

Well, that’s where this story seems to be headed. It won’t revive Stadia within YouTube or anything like that, but since it doesn’t seem like something YouTube would have a hard time implementing, and the casual nature of the initiative is in line with that of the same platform… Let’s assume the games are coming to YouTube , although it may also be an experiment that fails.
