Twitch will end support for its app on Nintendo Switch on November 6
This Monday, November 6, Twitch will stop supporting the Nintendo Switch application. Users will not have access from January 31, 2024
Twitch has announced that it is ending support for its application on the Nintendo Switch console, which will not be able to be downloaded from November 6 and will no longer provide access to users who already had the app since January 31, 2024.
The streaming platform launched its application for Nintendo Switch consoles in November 2021, with the aim of offering users a “more flexible” viewing experience for content on the platform.
In this way, users who use this ‘app’ can register in their accounts and view, follow or interact with any channel directly on the console. Likewise, it also allows you to search to discover new streamers.
However, Twitch has announced that it will stop supporting its app on the Nintendo Switch console starting Monday, November 6 for new users, who will no longer be able to download the app on the Nintendo eShop.
This was detailed by the company in a notification on its help page, in which it also specified that, as for users who already had the ‘app’ downloaded to their console, “they will lose access to the application” January 31 of next year 2024.
In this sense, according to statements by Twitch’s corporate communications director, Gabriella Raila, to The Verge, the company has made the decision to remove the application on Nintendo Switch “recently.” In addition, she also stressed that Nintendo “remains a valued partner” and that they appreciate “all the support that the Switch community has given to Twitch and streamers.”
During the years that the application has been in use, users have posted some complaints about the app’s service through a Twitch forum, detailing that they cannot see the chat in a broadcast, or which does not allow subscription to creators from the console. Likewise, users cannot use the app to stream their own gameplay either.
