With the original title of ‘YouTube Gaming’, it’ll have dedicated pages for ‘over 25,000 games’ with content creators and video game publishers able to feature content.
Like Twitch, you can subscribe to your favorite broadcasters and specific games. It will also show you recommendations based on your current subscriptions, just like traditional YouTube.
YouTube Product Manager Alan Joyce wrote in a blog post:
They’ve explained just how it’ll be tailored to gaming too:
YouTube Gaming has been rumored for a while, after an anonymous source said they were planning on re-launching YouTube Live back in March. YouTube Gaming is expected to go live this summer. It will also have an upcoming app.
Twitch didn’t refrain from voicing their opinion, either. Play nice, fellas.
