Starting today, Twitch fans with Switches can watch their favourite livestreamers directly from Nintendo’s console, courtesy of the official Twitch app which is available now on eShop.
If you’ve used Twitch on any other device, you should be right at home with the new Switch version.
Implementation quibbles aside, the new Twitch app is a welcome addition to Switch, which continues to have an extremely limited number of streaming options four years after launch.
Unsurprisingly, it’s not possible to stream from Switch, and there’s one additional constraint in that the app won’t display chat while watching a stream, regardless of whether being viewed in docked or handheld modes.
