YouTube's new video game channel and Twitch competitor is now live at gaming.youtube.com. YouTube Gaming basically curates all the gaming-related videos and live streams posted to YouTube, and it offers video game suggestions based on a user's viewing habits and so on. YouTube has also made it easier for YouTubers to set up a live stream account to encourage more people to broadcast live gameplay and other videos. You can learn more about YouTube Gaming on the YouTube official blog.

The YouTube Gaming app has also just went live on the Apple App Store. iOS users can use the app to search for YouTube gaming content, watch live streams, check out trending games and view featured channels.

The trending games tab features tags for popular games such as Five Nights at Freddy's 4 and Madden NFL 16. Each individual game page features information, archived videos and live streams for that specific title.

The Channels tab features popular YouTube video gaming channels. Users can watch the live feeds and chat with other users directly on the app. You can even swipe down on any video to shrink the panel so you can continue to watch while using other sections of the app. Just swipe left or right on the video window to dismiss if from your screen when you're finished.

YouTube Gaming is available now on the App Store for free. It supports all devices running iOS 7.0 or later, and it is easy to sync with your existing YouTube account, especially if you're already signed in on your device.
