On Oct. 16, PlayZap Games is putting out a trailer for Rush Party. The game is the second of five titles the studio is bringing to YouTube Playables.

The studio announced the release in a post on X: “RUSH PARTY TRAILER DROPS TOMORROW!” It added: “Title #2 of 5 is coming to YouTube Playables.”

The post gave no launch date for the game and didn’t describe its gameplay.

Five games in a few weeks

Rush Party is one of the games PlayZap announced on Oct. 12. That day, the studio said it was “accelerating on YouTube Playables” and named five new titles it expects to launch in the next few weeks: Rush Party, Jungle Fury, Scrub Tycoon, Bus IO and AstroLock.

Jungle Fury was the first to get a countdown. In an earlier post, PlayZap said that game’s trailer was coming out that same day.

The studio hasn’t given launch windows for any of the five games.

Traction claims

PlayZap said it logged more than 500,000 gameplays over the last 30 days. It also reported a 60% rise in YouTube subscribers.

The studio also said it has passed 3 million app downloads and 25 million total gameplays. It said the 500,000-plus plays on YouTube Playables came from just two games live on the platform.

These numbers come from PlayZap’s own posts and have not been independently verified.

Route to Playables

In July, PlayZap submitted its first game to YouTube Playables for review. Google had to approve the title before it could appear in the catalog. At that point, the studio didn’t name the game or share a timeline.

YouTube Playables started as an experiment in late 2023 and expanded more widely a year later. The catalog now has more than 75 free games that play inside YouTube’s mobile app and desktop site without a separate install. It is available in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia.

Background

PlayZap hosts skill-based tournaments in casual games such as solitaire and 8 ball pool and pays out rewards in PZP. The platform is built on Polygon and uses the tagline “Free to Play. Skill to Earn.”

PZP has a maximum supply of 150 million tokens. About 122.79 million are in circulation, held by roughly 8,510 holders. The company has also announced plans to remodel the token around a deflationary model that it said is designed to reward holders.

The studio ended its Rush Party post with three words: “LET’S RUSH!”
