Twitch Talk More About Twitch Crates

Shown off originally as part of their Twitch Commerce announcement, the new Twitch Crates that will be coming as part of Twitch’s general store update. Given out as a bonus when you buy a game or item worth more than $4.99, these are little digital loot boxes that can contain all sorts of goodies for livestream viewers.

 

Twitch Crates will appear in your inventory and you can choose whether or not you want to open them immediately or stash them away for a big future opening stream or something, if that’s something you like to do. Crates can contain channel badges, emotes or even a store of bits for spending on other things.

 

 

These goodies will vary in rarity too of course, with common to very rare. Also, if a game has for example a special emote associated with it then you would get that as a part of your Twitch Crate if you bought the game through Twitch. It could also potentially give access to emotes that could otherwise have only been gained through a subscription to a channel; whether or not you get dupes and how you can deal with them is yet to be seen although you won’t be able to trade them with other users. At least not while the system’s being trialed. There are also plans to bring things like game discounts, community-made items and more to Crates as they develop so look out for those later.

 

Right now you can only get one crate per purchase, and no options for selling the crates by themselves has yet been announced – but it’s likely to come as people get gripped with the desire to collect them all.

 

What do you think of Twitch Crates? Will you be buying them if they do go up for sale? Let us know below!
