Tomorrow, Google will be launching YouTube Gaming, a one-stop platform for people who want to watch lots of videos about video games.
The platform will be available on the web and as an app. It will have dedicated pages for more than 25,000 video games and will also support live streaming. The latter feature is accessible here, but is in beta.

Users of the platform will be able to follow specific games from one of the aforementioned 25,000 pages or subscribe to particular channels, as is the case currently for YouTube channels about video games.
When viewing the YouTube Gaming side of YouTube, searches will also be tailored to video games and will return search results related to the entertainment medium and disregard non-gaming topics.
Google announced YouTube Gaming last June and the platform had a presence at E3 2015, with daily livestreams hosted by industry veteran Geoff Keighly. The YouTube Gaming E3 2015 show also premiered the last E3 Metal Gear Solid trailer directed by Hideo Kojima.
Users can sign up for a notification of when the platform goes live by submitting their email address here.
