YouTube plans to launch in-app online games: reports

YouTube is planning on launching a product for playing online games, as per a recent report by The Wall Street Journal. According to the report, YouTube's parent company Google invited their employees to internally test an upcoming online games product called 'Playables'.

The Wall Street Journal report adds that this product called 'Playables' will have arcade games such as Stack Bounce, though a full list is not known at this moment. The 'Playables' games can reportedly be played from the YouTube website on desktop web browsers and will be made available on Android or iOS mobile devices.

Neal Mohan, CEO of YouTube, has been planning on integrating online gaming on YouTube for some time, the WSJ report claims. Since the new product is still in its testing stage, YouTube doesn't plan on officially announcing it until it's ready for the public.
