Pokimane Twitch

Pokimane has Twitch announcement leaked?

Pokimane, one of Twitch’s largest streamers on the platform, has a big decision to make. Earlier this week, she announced on Twitter that her 2-year contract with the streaming platform has ended. Pokimane signed a deal in 2020, but the streamer may look to switch platforms now:

Pokimane says she will be announcing her “next chapter” on February 8th. Prior streamers have used similar language when moving from one platform to another. As many streamers make the move to YouTube gaming, fans can only wonder if she will follow the trend. YouTube has undoubtedly expanded its streaming division; adding TimTheTatman, Ludwig, and moreover the past year while also retaining some of its most popular talent, such as Valkyrae and Dr Disrespect.

Did Twitch Accidentally Leak Pokimane’s Decision?

In light of Pokimane’s contract situation, Twitch is launching a new program titled ‘Gameplan’. A new interactive learning series that will teach you how to win with the Twitch audience and create powerful, interactive campaigns.

On the announcement’s webpage, Twitch states: “exclusive interviews with our most followed female streamer Pokimane” set to take place on February 15th, exactly one week after Pokimane is set to make her decision.

Over the past few months, fans have also been theorizing that she is retiring from streaming entirely. She has hinted at the idea in the past: “I was debating whether I wanted to say this, but I guess I might as well. If it wasn’t for that influx of female viewers, female streamers, and just more diverse community members, whether that’s people of color or other minorities within the last year or two over Covid, I think I likely would have retired from streaming this year,” Pokimane told her audience on stream. “Like, I likely would have.”

Because Twitch has an already scheduled interview with Pokimane, it implies she is sticking with them at least in some capacity. Could she possibly be taking a more “behind-the-scenes” gig at Twitch with their new program? The only thing certain is that big news is ahead for Pokimane, and fans are left to wonder for the time being.
