YouTube Gaming's days are numbered, before it shuts down for good

This week is the last for YouTube Gaming.

While the closure was announced last year, the app will officially shut down and be merged with the main site on May 30, Google announced in a support post.

Although YouTube will merge existing YouTube Gaming subscriptions to the main site, it's not possible to transfer the games content which you've saved in YouTube Gaming.

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