After Amazon bought Twitch, YouTube (and Google) responded by setting up YouTube Gaming, a standalone app/site built around sharing gameplay and all things gaming. The initiative was launched in 2015, and now after three years Google has shut down the app/site and those services have been relocated to YouTube Gaming.
"We're always working to make the gaming experience on YouTube better," explains a statement sent to VG247. "Over the past few years we've focused on building tools and experiences that the gaming community has been asking for.
"That's why in 2015, we launched YouTube Gaming, a standalone app for gamers where we tested new features like Game Pages for better discoverability, Super Chat and Channel Memberships to help fans show support for their favorite creators, Dark Theme and even a new live streaming platform based on the gaming community's feedback.
"The response to these features has been so positive that we brought them over from the YouTube Gaming app to the main YouTube experience."
So there you have it, now you know where you need to go for all your YouTube-related game streaming needs.
