How Do Drops Work on Twitch?

9/24/2023

Twitch is a platform that makes your online gaming or streaming experience more fun. The new Drops feature only adds to this. Connect your Twitch account to as many gaming accounts as you would like and start having fun. What could be better than earning in-game rewards by only doing a few simple things? This is how Drops work. Read below to find out how you can earn Drops and claim rewards on your favorite streamed games.  

 

Earning Drops on Twitch

 

Drops are a feature that enables you to gain access to in-game loot. You get this by watching your most popular channels on Twitch. To be eligible for Drops, you need to link your game account to your Twitch account.

 

The Drops program works differently depending on the game you are playing because the developer has completely customized them. The developer also determines how frequently Drops occur, what the items are, and which channels they can be accessed from.

 

You are going to see a message at the top of the chat if the channel offers the new Drops feature campaign. The message tells you about the Drops feature and how to earn various rewards.

 

Discovering and Claiming Drops

 

There are different types of drops that can be earned, namely:

 

·         Mission-based Drops

·         Time-based Drops

 

Mission-Based Drops

 

These are unlocked once a player achieves a specific milestone in the game. Once you have reached this, you have the option to claim the reward if you have linked your Twitch and game account.

 

Time-Based Drops

 

You can unlock these Drops by watching specific channels for a certain period. The game developer decides the channel and time. You can claim the reward once you have met the requirements. You can only work on achieving one reward at a time, on one channel. The Drops Inventory page allows you to track your progress and claim any unclaimed rewards.

 

How to View Drops

 

Look for the Drops enabled tab. It is visible if the channel has access to Drops. The 'Drops Inventory' page allows you to view all Drops and unclaimed rewards. You can also track your progress towards certain rewards. You can access the page at any time.

 

The 'All Campaigns' tab allows you to gain more information about rewards and their requirements. You can view all active and upcoming campaigns that you are potentially interested in. This gives you access to:

 

·         The dates that the Drops are activated.

·         The applicable games that the Drops are for.

·         How you can earn the rewards from the Drops.

 

Do Drops Work on All Devices?

 

Drops are compatible with Android and iOS devices or the Twitch app. They are supported by Mac/PC internet browsers. They currently cannot be accessed on smart TVs, gaming consoles, and other TV apps.

 

Conclusion

 

You can start to make progress on your favorite games by using Drops. Link your Twitch account to your game account and experience fun like you never have before! Whether you are watching a channel or completing a mission, you can take your gaming experience to the next level thanks to Twitch’s Drops.
