It’s the day we’ve been waiting for all summer – YouTube has officially launched into the gaming live stream market with the much-anticipated release of YouTube Gaming. We’re also super excited to share that TGN will be streaming on the front of YouTube Gaming throughout the day!
Available at gaming.youtube.com (and for UK and US residents in the App store) YouTube Gaming is focused exclusively on gaming content, with over 25,000 dedicated game pages, support videos, and live streams. Users can also expect a customized feed of the gaming channels they follow, complete with notifications when each channel is live. Scroll down and videos line the rest of the page, separated into trending, featured, suggested and popular sections, to name a few.
