Built from the ground up to support content creators, Hyper Scape developed the CrownCast extension with Twitch that offers a unique viewing experience and new tools for streamers to interact with their community live, on-stream.“We are tremendously proud of today’s launch across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. We’ve worked passionately for over two years to get to this milestone and we’re excited to say this is just the beginning,” said Graeme Jennings, Executive Producer on Hyper Scape. “With our fast-paced urban gameplay and one of a kind Crowncast Twitch extension, we’ve introduced a fresh new way to both play and interact with a Battle Royale.”
