Last year, we reported that Twitch was introducing a newPartner Plus Program, which brought with it changes to how streamers are paid. While it was met with some praise, it was also criticized for certain threshold requirements. As a result, the company has implemented a few changes.
In a recentblog, Twitch announced its updated payouts for Partner Plus. For starters, it’s now allowing Affiliated rather than just Partners to be included in the program. The changes also lower the threshold from 350 to 300, which means more streamers can qualify.
Twitch has received “clear feedback”
Additionally, when the Partner Plus Program (which is dropping the “Partner” from the name) was first introduced, it put a cap on how much streamers could earn. In a nutshell, anyone whose revenue was $100k or more would go back down to the 50/50 split. This idea has now been scrapped.
However, judging by responses to its Twitter thread on the news, it seems many are much happier with these new changes that will be coming into effect this May.
