Gamescom 2013: Twitch stream crosses to PlayStation 4

4.3

Twitch, the ever-growing streaming service (can we simply call it "ubiquitous" at this point?), is making its way to PlayStation 4. Announced during Sony's Gamescom press conference today, PS4 owners worldwide will be able to use the share button to broadcast gameplay to their Twitch channels and to believe in life after love. Users will also be able to view content streamed to the Twitch service. All services will be available for free.

"Through this partnership we are paving the way for every PS4 gamer to become both a broadcaster and an avid spectator of amazing content," said Twitch CEO Emmett Shear.

Twitch integration was previously announced for Xbox One during E3. Twitch continues to branch out to any platforms that will support it. Integration with refrigerators and toasters is planned for 2014.

Sweet now my PS4 and my Toaster will be connected to twitch by 2014 cannot wait for this lol, in all seriousness though I liked twitch on BO2 but my Upload speed is crap but it would be a handy feature to have.

So glad Twitch is coming to PS4 i'm an active user of Twitch and being able to use it on the PS4 and XB1 will be very convenient.
