This Summer, Google will roll out YouTube Gaming to the masses. This direct competitor to streaming services such as Twitch and Hitbox will allow you to host live streams of your favorite games directly to your subscribers. This service will launch with a new app and a new website.
YouTube Gaming is built to be all about your favorite games and gamers, with more videos than anywhere else. From "Asteroids" to "Zelda," 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. You’ll also find channels from a wide array of game publishers and YouTube creators.

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.”

YouTube Gaming promises to allow you to stream at 60 FPS, include automatic "DVR" or archives, and allow you to automatically convert your streams to YouTube videos. The service will begin to roll out this Summer in the U.S. and the U.K. Hopefully other territories aren't far behind, but knowing how slowly YouTube likes to roll out new services (and how those services suffer as a result), I wouldn't hold my breath.
