Twitch Sings, the karaoke game for Twitch streamers, is closing permanently at the end of this year.
The game has a small but dedicated audience who are bound to be disappointed by the news.
Twitch Sings is a free karaoke game for Twitch that launched in April 2019. Developed by Harmonix, the company behind the popular Rock Band games, Twitch Sings lets streamers sing along to their audience with a huge library of songs to choose from.
You can choose to show yourself in streaming or create an avatar that performs in front of a virtual audience. You can also choose from a variety of locations to use as a backdrop.
Of course, karaoke is always best with a crowd, and that's why Twitch Sings was designed with audience participation in mind. You can invite someone to duet with you and receive fun challenges that you are rated on. Like singing part of the song with the tongue sticking out.
You don't even have to be a good singer to try. In fact, it's probably more fun if you can't sing a note.
Unfortunately, Twitch is shutting down Twitch Sings on January 1, 2021. On the Twitch Sings Help Page, the company stated:
It's been less than a year and a half since the launch of Twitch Sings, so the shutdown comes as a surprise. However, we can assume that the game did not perform as well as Twitch expected.
Ahead of its shutdown, Twitch is releasing 400 new songs from its back catalog so you can sing goodbye.
Starting December 1, 2020, all VODs (previous streams, clips, and highlights) will be removed from Twitch.
You can continue to use Twitch Sings until it closes on January 1, 2021, after which the game will no longer be available.
Despite the shutdown of Twitch Sings, Twitch isn't turning its back on music entirely, but instead focusing on it in different ways.
In fact, Twitch only recently announced that it will be live music festivals, and it's likely that more features and events will follow.
