Ready to stream Twitch games, cord cutters?

Twitch is an Amazon streaming service dedicated to the world of video game live streaming and esports. Now, with over two million broadcasters monthly and 15 million daily active users, it is a powerhouse.

Recently, Twitch has moved into the world of highly produced video game programming. From airing major esports events to creating their own documentaries with the launch of Twitch Studios on the world of sports, Twitch is the go-to place for gaming.

Stream Twitch games for free

“There are a lot of amazing stories to tell about the Twitch community, which rarely get the attention they deserve,” said Marcus Graham, director of Twitch Studios. “With Twitch Studios, we are looking to shine a light on these stories and celebrate our community. A great example of this is Ironsights, which is how Sara Erlandson, one of our community members, made a name for herself in the highly competitive Big Buck HD scene.”

Twitch is growing

Twitch not only is expanding their service to focus on gaming, but also to bring in other deals. This fall, Twitch will air every Thursday Night NFL Football game for free on Twitch. Twitch is also in the middle of a classic Doctor Who marathon with the BBC. Together, they will air 500 Doctor Who episodes for free on Twitch.

While it may sound like Twitch is straying from its roots, Twitch is still very focused on gaming. Recently, Twitch paid $90 million for exclusive streaming rights to the Overwatch league; that was the largest esports deal to date.
