Unlike the Premium Partners program, which offers special deals to major creators through individual negotiations, the Partner Plus program will automatically include anyone who meets the requirements for the three prior months. The initiative will be available globally and will not provide any additional benefits beyond what Premium Partners already receive.
Twitch’s decision to introduce Partner Plus follows its announcement earlier this year of plans to implement a similar revenue cap for Premium Partners. In September, then-Twitch President (now CEO) Dan Clancy assured that this change would only affect a small percentage of streamers and that increased ad payouts would help compensate for the difference. However, some prominent streamers who rely on Twitch as their primary source of income may view this as a pay cut, potentially prompting them to explore alternative platforms like YouTube, which may offer more lucrative terms.
