Google Takes On Twitch With YouTube Gaming

Google Takes On Twitch With YouTube Gaming

This summer, Google will launch YouTube Gaming, a brand new app and website to host gaming videos and live streams in one place.

From "Asteroids" to "Zelda," more than 25,000 games will each have their own page, a single place for all the best videos and live streams about that title. The service will also host channels from a wide array of game publishers and YouTube creators.

YouTube Gaming intends to make finding games and channels super easy. Add a game to your collection for quick access whenever you want to check up on the latest videos. Subscribe to a channel, and you'll get a notification as soon as they start a live stream. You'll also get personalized recommendations based on the games and channels you love.

YouTube Gaming will be available this summer, starting in the U.S. and U.K.
