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.

However, it never really took off, although gaming continues to be a popular genre on YouTube, with Google claiming more than 200 million users engage with gaming content on the platform. Now, YouTube wants to meld the gaming community with the rest of the site.
