YouTube is experimenting with multiplayer games
It's already easy to spend hours staring at YouTube, and now it's about to get slightly easier.
According to a list of upcoming "experimental" features on YouTube, multiplayer gaming is coming to the home for videos on the internet. No, that doesn't mean you'll be able to play any of 2024's biggest hits with your friends via YouTube. But it does mean that simple puzzle games like Magic Tiles 3 and Ludo Club will be playable with other users on the site.
At the moment, those are the only two titles with multiplayer on YouTube. There are actually more than 100 playable games on YouTube under the "Playables" banner, but it took until now for users to be able to play them with other users.
