YouTube Gaming will be shut down in March 2019

Three years since it first launched, YouTube is getting rid of its YouTube Gaming app in March 2019. The dedicated gaming app didn’t reach a big enough audience with users sticking to watching gaming-related content on the main YouTube app. So, what the company is doing is bringing some of these gaming-specific features and content to the main YouTube site. The new location for all the gaming-related content will be “youtube.com/gaming” and will feature recommended gaming videos at the top, a list of popular livestreams, and content from existing subscriptions. From this location, you’ll also be able to favorite specific games so YouTube can use its algorithm to find recommendations for you. There will also be a part of the trending section reserved for “On The Rise” creators. This will focus on the good yet underappreciated videos from smaller creators and help them reach a larger audience. The features are launching first in the US and will be coming to other countries soon.

It might be back to black for Microsoft, at least this is what the rumour mill suggests.
