The mobile app, which is available on Android Google Play and Apple App Store, allows users to watch game-related news, reviews, tips, walkthroughs and even live tournaments.
Several local gaming channels are already accessible through the app, including MineskiTV, Radapedaxa, and UkieKookie, to name a few.
YouTube Gaming, essentially a channel dedicated to gamers, was launched in the U.S. and U.K. in August 2015. It is a response to a growing community of video game enthusiasts worldwide.
In a statement, Google Philippines said gaming channels make up 20 of the top 100 most subscribed channels in the world. Millions of gamers watch over 140 billion minutes of gaming videos and livestreams every month.
In addition, the app itself also provides easier access for gamers since more than half of YouTube gaming views are on mobile devices, which validates the creation of the YouTube Gaming app.
The company said that Asia is one of the fastest growing regions for gaming content.
