Introducing Twitchverse, plus our first show of the decade!

At Twitch, we put all of you, the community, at the center of everything we do. Which is why we are opening new doors—both literally and figuratively—to the community in the form of an interactive experience called the Twitchverse.

Twitchverse is an always-on digital aquarium (just wait, it gets weirder) that offers a whole new way to support your favorite streamers, and to discover new ones. The “creatures” in the aquarium all represent Partnered channels and their communities, and, like the communities they represent, it’s up to all of you to feed them so they grow. If that sounds a little odd, well… it definitely is, but we’re going to talk about it more on stream.

All month long we’re spotlighting what makes Twitch great with a killer slate of interactive special events, programming and content meant to blow your mind.

It’s all part of our goal to connect fans with the larger gaming community so you can delve deeper into the games you already know and love. And January is just the beginning!

TWITCH RIVALS: STREAMER BOWL

Football is one of the most watched programming on terrestrial broadcast and Fortnite is one of the most played games on earth. Twitch is bringing them both together in a never-been-done crossover event of ridiculous proportion! For the first time ever the NFLPA, Epic Games, and Twitch Rivals are collaborating to produce a series of gaming live broadcasts & events.

NEW YEAR, NEW SQUAD

Discover your community in 2020 with our new episodic show, “New Year New Squad”. Join top streamers as they squad up for live gameplay, insider tips on streamers to follow, where to find them and a healthy dose of “clip that!”.

TWITCH RIVALS: LEAGUE OF LEGENDS TEAM DRAFT SHOWDOWN

After an exciting League of Legends event this past November, Twitch Rivals is once again bringing top streamers together to compete in an ultimate team showdown event. All matches will follow the same 4-team group double round-robin, tiebreaker, and knockout bracket formats used in the World Championships.

Team captains will draft teammates on 1/6. in a live event featuring a unique exhibition game with streamers Trick2g and Yassuo joining forces to battle together as teammates. Fans can look for their fierce rivalry to re-ignite once competition gets truly underway and teams go head to head on 1/21 through 1/23.

Without the support of our incredible community, Twitch itself wouldn’t exist. Which is why the Twitchverse visualization is front and center in the brand new lobby of our IRL headquarters in San Francisco. If you’re in town, feel free to stop by and say HeyGuys.

And please, do touch the glass.
