Twitch rolls out new content and features for creators with Twitch Extensions

Twitch is planning on rolling out new features for content creators.

Twitch streamers have got a treat to look forward to with the new Twitch Extensions, an interactive feature that will be rolling out on the platform in the near future.

The new set of tools will comprise of more than 20 extensions, from Streamlabs, to Muxy overlays and leaderboards, and Gear on Amazon, as well as game specific extensions for League of Legends and Hearthstone.

"Twitch is a platform where communities create, share, and interact with the content they love,” said Ryan Lubinski, Product Manager for Extensions at Twitch.

"With Twitch Extensions, we’re taking interactivity to the next level by empowering our developer community to create customized interactive content, directly integrated with the Twitch platform, opening up a whole new world of creator-viewer interaction.”

Third-party developed will also be able to build extensions with access to "free asset hosting and fanout messaging" which will probably mean more to them than it does to me.

More details will be shown at TwitchCon Developer Day on October 19, but for now, here are all of the extensions that will be available when the platform launches.
