Top 10 Best Games with Twitch Integration You Need to Play!

If you are looking for a great way for viewers to engage or interacting with your stream more, playing games with Twitch integration is an easy place to start. Breaking the streamer to viewer barrier, making them feel more invested in the game you are playing and gets new viewers chatting more.

There are so many interactive games out there with streamer modes in them, so it can be hard choosing ones that are actually good.

So don’t sweat, in this list we’ve curated what we feel are the best Twitch-Integrated games out right now and that should be regular in your community night.

What is Twitch Integration?

Twitch chat integration is exactly what it sounds like, video games that integrate with Twitch’s API that read chat messages to impact in-game events in real time! Depending on the game, it can spawn difficult enemies or even aid streamers by spawning items in game and providing buffs.

All it requires from the streamer is linking your Twitch channel so the game knows who’s chat to read, so pretty low entry point given the upside it can have on community building.
