YouTube has expanded its Playables feature, allowing users to play games with friends in real-time. Initially launched in late 2023, Playables offered a collection of free games available through the YouTube app and on the web. After a period of limited testing, the feature became accessible to users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia earlier this year. Now, YouTube is testing a new multiplayer option for select games.

The platform has started offering multiplayer support with two games: Ludo Club and Magic Tiles 3. Users can play these games against others on both desktop and mobile devices. According to YouTube, the multiplayer mode enables real-time gameplay with other users, with plans to extend the feature to more titles in the future.

YouTube Playables: How Multiplayer Works

In a recent blog post, YouTube shared details about the new multiplayer feature, stating, "We're beginning to test a new multiplayer feature for a few select games on YouTube Playables." The feature currently supports Ludo Club, a board game, and Magic Tiles 3, a music rhythm game. The Ludo Club game offers the option to play with friends or random users, and includes a basic chat function with emojis and pre-configured messages. The multiplayer mode for Magic Tiles 3 has not been fully launched, so it remains unclear whether it will have similar features.
