Google is going to announce a new YouTube branded live video streaming service with a focus on gaming, according to the DailyDot. The Internet giant is reportedly prepping to introduce its live-streaming service under the YouTube Live. YouTube Live will apparently relaunch later this year, re-focused on game streaming and E-sports. As we know a year ago, Google wanted to buy Twitch but has failed to seal the deal and got outbid by Amazon, which paid a $1 billion for the popular game streaming service. Google has reportedly hired 50 engineers with experience in streaming technology to help build the forthcoming platform. The search firm will also partner with major E-sports events which will provide premium content on YouTube Live. We suspect the company could make an announcement at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June.
