After Stadia failed, Google is trying another video game idea.
After Netflix, another platform that specializes in video content has entered the field of video games. the Wall Street Journal According to Google, after the failure of Stadia, it is trying to revive the player section of YouTube, through which it is said that all kinds of titles, small and large, can be launched immediately and without installation.
Moreover, if the report is to be believed, YouTube’s new Playables menu, which is being tested, will be available on almost all currently supported platforms, that is, in addition to PC, you can also play games on Android and iOS. By the way, this innovation has been a part of Stadia’s career, but the original plan was that with YouTube’s integration with the cloud-based platform, developers and publishers could embed demos that could instantly launch with game ads.
On the other hand, the playable games will have a full version, mostly free mobile games of the arcade type, with which they will try to increase ad revenue. This means that everyone can access the games for free, regardless of the premium subscription, but unlike the sympathetic Netflix Gaming solution, they also contain ads.
In Google’s initial internal testing, only one build was said to be available, Stack Bounce, in which players have to knock down bricks stacked horizontally with balls. However, if the service does launch, there will likely be dozens of similar games to pass the time.
