YouTube Launching New Gaming Portal to Challenge Amazon

Google announced on Friday that it plans to launch YouTube Gaming this summer. The mobile app and website will take on Amazon powerhouse Twitch and newcomers such as MLG.TV by offering video game videos and live streams. “More than 25,000 games will each have their own page, a single place for all the best videos and live streams about that title,” explains the YouTube Blog. “You’ll also find channels from a wide array of game publishers and YouTbe creators.” YouTube already features a wide range of gaming videos, notes The New York Times, “but creating a stand-alone app puts gaming one click closer and adds another square icon to gamers’ phones.”
