YouTube Gaming Launches Today

4.4
For several years now, Twitch has become the dominant leader in livestreaming and especially among the video game community, though Google has been aggressively looking to challenge its throne with the launch of its YouTube Gaming app on the horizon.

Google announced that YouTube Gaming will launch today, providing those either viewing or creating livestreams, Let’s Plays, and other video content surrounding the gaming community with a one-stop shop of sorts for accessing content.

In addition to cataloging and gaming-related content more searchable, YouTube Gaming will also allow users to subscribe to either dedicated game pages or specific YouTube users and channels, and even providing notifications to subscribed users of when a channel will begin a livestream.

YouTube Gaming will automatically collect all gaming-related videos and content while also providing over 25,000 pages dedicated to specific games. Once it launches today, YouTube Gaming will be accessible both through the web and a new iOS and Android mobile app.

YouTube Gaming will launch across web and mobile starting today, August 26th – keep an eye on the service’s official page for when the service officially drops.

Brag They joined too late i think, twitch already dominates the livestreaming scene, doubt their streamers will move to this.

I think i would like this better than twitch but i think twitch will be better to everyone else

Who knows if this will be successful, right now Twitch is the top streaming website - but all it takes is a few of the top streamers to move over to this service and many more will follow. Things like this have happened in the past.

I don't see this helping them that much, twitch will still be number 1.

Daniel- this won't become something big


yup, agree completely, twitch is to big to compete with in this area


Yup! I feel like nobody can replace Twitch, to be honest.


Yea i thought that as well, Twitch has been the leaders for too long for anyone to come and replace them. Although i'm sure google will give it a good try
