Popular live game streaming service Twitch has launched a public beta of its upcoming Apple TV app through TestFlight. This marks the first time Twitch itself has launched an Apple TV application, though some third-party solutions have long existed.
Through the new Twitch app on Apple TV, users get many of the features they’ve come to expect from Twitch. This includes live streaming, chat support, and more.
The main homepage of the Twitch app allows you to scroll through popular games and popular channels. You can also navigate to the Browse tab to get a closer look at popular games, as well as how many viewers each title has. Once you pick a game, you can see live channels, popular recorded videos, and popular clips.
