YouTube is internally testing a product for playing online games, the Wall Street Journal has reported citing an email sent to employees at parent company Google, according to a Reuters report.
The company invited its employees to begin testing the new YouTube product called ‘Playables’, Reuters said, quoting the WSJ report, , adding that games available for testing included titles such as arcade game Stack Bounce.
The games can be played on YouTube’s site on web browsers or via devices running Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS mobile systems, the report added.
A spokesperson for YouTube said that gaming has long been a focus, adding that the company was experimenting with new features and had “nothing to announce right now.”
Hosting online games on YouTube, which is a popular place for users to stream games and watch live streamed game footage, is part of company head Neal Mohan’s push into new areas of growth amid a slowdown in advertising spending, the WSJ report said.
