Pokimane Reveals End of Twitch Contract, Teases Next Move
Today, popular streamer Pokimane announced during her stream that her Twitch contract has come to an end and she will be revealing her next move in approximately one week. Pokimane had signed a two-year deal with Twitch in 2020 which is now expiring, leading to speculation about her potential switch to a different platform.
With the end of the month approaching, Pokimane shared that it is the final day of her Twitch contract. “It’s surreal to say this out loud, but today is the last day of my Twitch contract,” she said as a member of OfflineTV.
Upon sharing the news, Pokimane’s chatroom was instantly flooded with speculations from viewers. Notably, fellow streamer Valkyrae had just re-signed with YouTube a few hours earlier, though Pokimane clarified that the timing was unintentional.
Pokimane reflected on her eventful two years, filled with ups and downs, cherished memories, and wonderful friendships. She also hinted that her decision regarding whether to remain on Twitch or make a transition has already been made, with the official announcement pending.
The definitive announcement from Pokimane is expected to come on February 8. Expressing gratitude for the support she has received on Twitch, she left viewers to ponder over her cryptic revelation.
YouTube appears as the likely destination for Pokimane if she decides to make a move. The platform has significantly expanded its streaming division in the past year, adding notable streamers like TimTheTatman and Ludwig, while also retaining their iconic talents like Valkyrae and Dr Disrespect.
While it is evident that major news awaits Pokimane, viewers are left in anticipation for now.
