YouTube Rolls Out Playables, a Game Arcade for Premium Users

Nov 26, 2023

In an effort to entice users to subscribe to its paid Premium service, YouTube is rolling out a new feature called Playables. Playables is a standalone section within the YouTube app or desktop website that allows users to play arcade games without having to download anything.

YouTube launches Playables for premium users

Upon entering Playables, users are presented with two tabs: Home and Browse. The Home tab displays a list of recently played games and a curated selection of popular titles. The Browse tab, on the other hand, offers a wider range of games, currently numbering around 37.

The key selling point of Playables is that all games are playable directly within the YouTube app or website, eliminating the need for downloads. This makes it incredibly easy for users to jump into a game without any hassle.

Currently, Playables is in beta testing and is only accessible to a limited group of Premium subscribers. However, YouTube intends to gradually expand access to Playables over the coming months.

The initial selection of games on Playables includes popular titles like Angry Birds Showdown, Brain Out, and Daily Solitaire. While the current library is relatively modest, YouTube is expected to add more games in the future.

YouTube is not the first streaming service to offer a game arcade to its subscribers. Netflix introduced its own game arcade in November 2021, but it has not gained significant traction. It remains to be seen whether Playables will fare better than Netflix’s game arcade.

YouTube plans to continue offering Playables until March 28, 2024, after which the company will assess its performance and make a decision about its future. If Playables proves to be popular, it could become a permanent fixture on the platform.

Rumors about a slimmer PS5 have turned into reality as Sony officially introduces the PlayStation 5 Slim, available now for purchase on PlayStation Direct at the price of $499.99. Aptly named “Slim,” this latest addition comes after previous revisions were simply marketed as PlayStation 5.

When it comes to performance, the PS5 Slim maintains the technological excellence of its predecessor. The latest PS5 Slim introduces enhancements in design, showcasing a remarkable reduction in volume by over 30%, weight by 18%, and 24% when compared to its predecessors. This results in a more sleek gaming console without any compromise in performance.

In addition to the reduced weight and size, the Slim version gains a second USB-C port on the front, replacing the USB-A port of its predecessor. A departure from the previous model, the vertical stand for the PS5 Slim is now a separate purchase at $29.99.

An intriguing aspect for Digital Edition buyers is the newfound capability to retrofit a disk drive—a feature absent in the previous model.

In related news, Sony’s PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset are currently live for pre-order across the world. These audio devices are tailor-made to be used with the PlayStation 5, providing users with the best audio experience.

The electric dirtbike world just got a cool new player: the Husqvarna EE18. This isn’t your regular bike; it’s a custom creation from DirtFirst Racing and Hollywood Movie Bikes. The EE18 is like a nudge to Husqvarna, telling them to make more electric dirtbikes for serious riding.

The electric dirtbike has some of the best parts from KTM & Husqvarna bikes

Husqvarna doesn’t actually make this bike, but it’s based on a similar model from KTM, Husqvarna’s sister brand. It’s got a strong 18-kilowatt electric motor and a big battery that together pack a punch with 24 horsepower. This makes it perfect for teens (12 to 16 years old) who are too big for kids’ bikes but not quite ready for adult motocross bikes.

The EE18 is smart too. It has a special controller to manage the motor’s power, a bigger cooling system to keep it from getting too hot, and a temperature gauge so riders know when to cool down. This means they can ride hard without worrying about the bike overheating.

In terms of build, the EE18 is top-notch. It’s got some of the best parts you’d find on KTM and Husqvarna bikes, like super-strong forks and shocks, light and tough wheel clamps, and reliable Brembo brakes. Plus, it has a sturdy skidplate to protect the motor.

For the rider, the EE18 is all about comfort and control. It comes with special handlebars, lightweight footpegs, and a throttle tube that’s easy to grip. It even has a special device to help with fast starts and keeping the bike stable.
