Nintendo Switch consoles get support for Twitch app, although only for viewing content rather than broadcasting it.
The world’s biggest game streaming service, Twitch, is now finally available on Nintendo Switch consoles, although you’ll only be able to view content rather than broadcast it. Nintendo of America announced via a tweet that the app can now be downloaded (for free) from the gaming company’s online eShop and run from any of its current consoles – Switch OLED, Switch Lite and the standard Switch model. While the staple content of Twitch was initially video streams of users playing games, other media like Nintendo Direct announcements, live sports events and even talk shows will be ready to stream on Switch. Along with the inability to broadcast your own stream, the Switch’s implementation of the Twitch app comes with a few other limitations as well. The experience is largely simplified, with a home, browse and search tab comprising the entirety of the interface.
