'YouTube Playables' seem to be released - Arcade type games played in-browser

Looks like mobile-tier games that you can play directly in YouTube in browser. I use a Chromium based browser and wasn't prompted for any installations or special plugins. Unsure if it works on mobile or other browsers.

I tried the pool game and the shmup, nice little time wasters.

Do you guys have access to these as well?
 
Been playing through these for a while now. I really love it and hope it stays. Knowing google though they'll probably cut it off randomly.

I never quite understood the point of "in browser". Streaming, does not really need their own app or programm, could run in browsers, but anything else "in browser" just needs some download somewhere. So it is either small enough to be in the regular cache thing or require some GB download like Quake Live. I am not sure what role the browser is supposed to play in any of this or how it is better than regular installs when it is some more actual games with 3d visuals or whatever.
 
Works in the YouTube app too.

It's a start! Cool stuff. Steam needs this. And the ability to add filters for games (CRT, etc)

Easy to play and that's a beautiful thing, there's a whole App Store of games and yet here I am playing games on YouTube which looked like this 15 years ago:

Looks like this is launching out of beta today

 
Been using this since Linus said something about it weeks ago. Works great on my phone and tablet through the YouTube app. Really fast and some of the games are really fun. Love the soccer one.

Super Goal and Pocket Soccer.
