YouTube Gaming, Its Twitch Competitor, Set To Launch Tomorrow

Back in June, YouTube announced that it would be getting into the gaming game and launch its own Twitch competitor called YouTube Gaming. Tomorrow will be that day (in the US and UK), we’ve learned.

The YouTube Gaming site will drag all of the live streams and game-related videos into one place. People love watching and chatting about video games, and Alphabet/Google wants a piece of that pie.


Google reportedly got into the bidding for Twitch but Amazon won out at the end of the day. The site is a huge piece of Amazon’s e-commerce puzzle, with video game streams becoming real-time commercials for buying those games.

Here are some shots of the mobile and web versions of YouTube Gaming:

YouTube Gaming will be available on both iOS and Android, as well. The company is also launching an easier to start a live stream, in beta, tomorrow.

Frank Petterson, Engineering Manager on the project for YouTube, says “This is just the beginning.”

I can see this out doing twitch. As most streamers upload it to YouTube.

Could save the upload time?

Yea till they start issuing their copy right strikes. They already made mention that the content scanner that they use on videos will be going through on these as well.

Yep. Sounds about right. I just love the fact that their system is FUBAR and they won't do anything about it. Next time I see a CMS account come up for sale I'm buying it just so I can ruin people's channel.
