YouTube has always been a venue where it’s simple to lose track of time, and now it’s set to become even more captivating.

The video-sharing titan is rolling out multiplayer gaming as a part of its collection of “experimental” features. Although you won’t be joining friends to play any of [2024’s top video games](https://mashable.com/article/best-video-games-2024), soon you’ll have the chance to enjoy straightforward multiplayer puzzle games like [Magic Tiles 3](https://www.youtube.com/playables/UgkxBkQcOMCckLj1QkHkxCjjU4JekPgdNsBo) and [Ludo Club](https://www.youtube.com/playables/UgkxGzrXA-j0c0_5xDjuq4M6-WYvJmewiTXz) with fellow users directly on the platform.

At present, these two titles are the sole offerings with multiplayer capabilities on YouTube. While the platform already features over 100 games in its [“Playables”](https://www.youtube.com/playables) section, this represents the first instance where users can engage in gaming together in real-time.

So, the next time you’re viewing a [four-hour video essay about questionable hotels](https://mashable.com/article/star-wars-hotel-viral-video-youtube), you can pause and jump into some casual multiplayer gaming.
