YouTube Gaming announced as Google’s answer to Twitch
Thousands of games will be featured through dedicated pages, each with videos and livestreams which feature the game in question.
“YouTube Gaming is built to be all about your favorite games and gamers, with more videos than anywhere else,” said YouTube Gaming product manager Alan Joyce. “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.
“You’ll also find channels from a wide array of game publishers and YouTube creators.”
Users will be able to go online or use the app to subscribe to channels, and sign up to be notified when a livestreams starts or when content has been uploaded.
New features will be made available for those who livestream, forgoing the need to schedule events prior to the stream.
YouTube Gaming will launch this summer in the UK and US.

Pool Dont know if they can beat twitch but good idea
It's Google... they will advertise this to the max... because they can. Plus it's Youtube and I believe that Youtube get more hits than twitch. Thus I see this catching up with twitch within a year or so.

RyujiTakasu This wont replace Twitch as many top streamers refuse to stream anywhere else.
They only refuse because they get paid well from it.
