Xbox One Not the Only Console to Feature Twitch, Streaming Service Announced for the PS4

COLOGNE, Germany. August 21 - The popular gaming streaming website, Twitch.tv, will be available on the PS4 when the console launches this November, Sony confirmed yesterday.

PS4 users will be able to view, comment and stream through the console just like a Xbox One user.

"PlayStation has a long history of delivering some of the best gaming experiences in the industry and we're excited to have Twitch available on a console as heavily anticipated as PS4," Emmett Shear, Twitch CEO, said in a statement. "Through this partnership we are paving the way for every PS4 gamer to become both a broadcaster and an avid spectator of amazing content."

"Social capabilities are an integral part of PS4, so Twitch will play an important role in delivering a compelling connected experience to PlayStation fans," said Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios. "Twitch's gamer-focused community combined with our strong portfolio of innovative PS4 titles, will help define next generation gameplay and community engagement."

The other, less popular video game streaming site, Ustream, will also be featured as announced during PS4's first unveiling.
