This Summer, Google are launching YouTube Gaming, an app and website that will focus on live-streaming gameplay.

YouTube Gaming will give more than 25,000 games their own dedicated webpage, and each page will feature videos and livestreams pertaining to that title. Viewers will also be able to subscribe to channels from game publishers and YouTube content creators, and will be provided with recommendations.

In addition to being able to stream gameplay at 60fps, YouTube Gaming will also provide a function that automatically converts your livestreams to a YouTube video.

YouTube Gaming will launch sometime this Summer in the U.S. and U.K. A specific release date has not yet been announced.
