I haven’t really seen many people talk about this yet, but YouTube has this feature called Playables where you can actually play games directly inside the platform.

No downloads or installs, you just click and start playing.

They’ve already added around 100+ games and it looks like they’re slowly rolling it out to more users.

What caught my attention is that you can publish web based games using things like Unity, Three.js, Phaser, etc.

So instead of competing for attention on app stores, you might be able to tap into YouTube’s own discovery system.

I got curious and built a small 3D shooting game just to test how this space feels

Still experimenting, but it made me realize how fast you can build and test ideas now using AI and web tools.

Feels like we might be pretty early in this “YouTube as a game platform” phase.

What do you guys think
Could this actually turn into a real opportunity for indie devs like us?
