YouTube Just Launched a New Destination for Gamers and Is Shuttering the YouTube Gaming App

The application debuted in 2015

In 2015, YouTube launched YouTube Gaming, a stand-alone application and destination for users to watch video-game-related content. Now, the Google-owned video-sharing platform has created a new hub for gamers on the standard YouTube website, which contains some of the features first introduced in the YouTube Gaming experience.

This hub will replace the YouTube Gaming app entirely, as the app will be closed in March 2019.

The new YouTube Gaming destination allows users to view personalized game-related content, as well as discover new content.
