Worldwide popular streaming platform Twitch is finally hinting at a return to the Indian Audience. Two new Indian ingest servers have been listed which belong to Mumbai and Chennai.
Amazon-owned streaming platform Twitch has been one of the most essential streaming platforms to the gaming industry globally. However, this platform didn’t receive a good reception in the past from the Indian gaming community. This involved direct and main reasons which include lack of servers by twitch, as well as lack of stable internet availability to the entire nation. While some creators hoped that the platform will get a kickstart soon, hopes became dreams as it failed to attract the Indian audience.
However, 2021 is entirely different from 2016. The majority of the Indian gaming community are now well equipped with streaming standard connections, more awareness towards the generalization of the subject gaming, and most importantly – more eyes than ever watching content creators. While these eyes are currently invested in other streaming platforms like Youtube, newly emerging Facebook Gaming, Booyah, and many more, Twitch will have to make stand to shift viewers to their platforms.
While the job of acquiring viewers is completely on Twitch, it will receive major support if the introduction of Prime Gaming is announced soon. The ever increasing subscribers of the Amazon based subscription service in India clearly shows the market and of course the opportunity for Indian content creators to earn revenue via Twitch Prime subscriptions. Additionally, the offers attached with Prime Gaming have been on the radar for many Indian Gamers. That being said, nothing is officially announced and confirmed, we are still awaiting Twitch’s official announcement which can come anytime (even when you are reading this) since the Indian ingest servers are currently in offline mode. As soon as we hear anything about this information, we’ll make sure you are delivered the news.
