YouTube Launches 4k Streaming
YouTube videos have been viewable in 4K since 2010, but today YouTube expanded its 4k capabilities by launching 4k streaming options.
Tomorrow's Game Awards will be the first major streaming event to take advantage of the new streaming clarity on YouTube. On its blog announcing the update, YouTube is touting the quality of the 4k writing, "4K video isn’t just a little different from HD video; it’s a giant leap." The 4k streaming option also extends to 360 degree video.

Our Take
This doesn't affect me much as I haven't yet entered the world of 4k yet, but the (admittedly expensive) prospect of entering this new visual world is getting more enticing by the day.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
