YouTube Gaming announces its last day, will merge with main site

This week is the last for YouTube Gaming.

While the closure was announced last year, the app will be officially announced on May 30th.

Although YouTube will be able to make YouTube Gaming subscriptions to the main site, it's not possible to transfer the games to which you've saved in YouTube Gaming.

In the aftermath of Twitch's acquisition by Amazon for $ 1 trillion back in 2014, Google stepped up the competition by releasing its very own standalone, streaming games hub in YouTube Gaming in 2015.

The hub became a testbed for new features such as Super Chat and Channel Memberships, which have been rolled out on the main site, while aiming to give people just gaming content.

However, it never really took off, but it's still going to be popular on YouTube, with more than 200 million users engaging with gaming content on the platform. Now, YouTube wants to get away from the rest of the site.

"We want to continue to build a strong home for the gaming community that thrives on YouTube, not just the YouTube Gaming app," the company said in its post.
