https://gaming.youtube.com/coming_soon
- Available anywhere YouTube is accessible
- Seeks to compete with Twitch, which Google lost to Amazon for $970 million
- YouTube calls YouTube Gaming the "go-to destination for anything and everything gaming."
- The service, focused solely on gamers and gaming, will start with more than 25,000 games, each having their own page on the site, bringing videos and live streams about various titles together in a single space.
Users will be able to add games to their collection for quick access, subscribe to channels, and receive recommendations on new games based on the games and channels they follow.
- It not only shows who is live streaming, but serves as a collection point for all gaming content on YouTube. YouTube Gaming automatically categorizes YouTube's gaming content and sorts it by game and by the content of video. This allows users to easily see the most popular content for their favorite game.
- iOS and Google Play apps are currently available in the US and UK, more countries coming soon
