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.

Ampz I thought this was confirmed before this, either way.

I think it was for the xbox :)

Both Microsoft and Sony are offering streaming services for their next generation consoles

Well if one left it out, they would have a major disadvantage.

Wagering I've never even heard of Twitch..

Twitch TV is a streaming service for all streamers to share their livestreams.
Bringing it to PS4 means they have it built in to stream.
