The video sharing and live streaming website YouTube is preparing for the launch of it’s gaming-focused website, YouTube Gaming. The website, which was announced back in June, comes after the video giant reportedly failed to acquire game-streaming service Twitch.tv.
According to YouTube’s blog post, the site will host over 25,000 pages, each dedicated to their own video game. On top of that, the service will also offer familiar features, such as channels that users can subscribe to.
“Keeping up with these games and channels is now super easy, too. Add a game to your collection for quick access whenever you want to check up on the latest videos. Subscribe to a channel, and you’ll get a notification as soon as they start a live stream. Uncover new favorites with recommendations based on the games and channels you love. And when you want something specific, you can search with confidence, knowing that typing “call” will show you ‘Call of Duty’ and not ‘Call Me Maybe.’ ”
The service will launch today, August 26, for the United States and the U.K.
