It also tracks your best scores.
YouTube Playables include some of the popular titles like Angry Birds Showdown, Cut the Rope, Words of Wonders,, Tomb of the Mask, and Trivia Crack.
YouTube Playables seems similar to Netflix games, but you need to install games on Netflix separately. On the other hand, YouTube Playable games doesn’t require any downloads. It also doesn’t challenge app store model because YouTube isn’t monetising these games.
