YouTube Gaming is now available, hopes to deal Twitch a significant blow

When it comes to games live streaming, Twitch is pretty much the only name that comes to mind. YouTube intends to change that thinking with a live streaming service of its own: YouTube Gaming. This definitely isn’t the first time that we’ve heard of YouTube Gaming, but it will be the first time that the web interface is available for all to use. On top of that, the Android app is now available to US and UK Android users – though you can just circumvent that if someone were to provide you an APK to sideload on your device.

If that’s not your style, you can just check out the (English only) web interface at gaming.youtube.com which serves as a hub for you to access all the games and feeds that you want to watch. Who knew a whole new way to watch Minecraft videos would be so exciting?
