Stormgate Head Start Twitch & Steam Drops
Like we mentioned in our first Twitch Drops blog before the Preview Period began, we’re running a special drop on Twitch today that will provide a free head start access key to Stormgate before it becomes free-to-play tomorrow.
To start earning progress towards your Twitch Drops, head to the Drops & Rewards button in your Twitch menu and search for Stormgate. Once you find our Drops campaigns, click Connect to head to our account linking website, where you’ll be prompted to link your Twitch and Steam accounts. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to start earning progress towards your rewards while watching Drops-enabled streams. To earn the drop on Steam, you can watch a broadcast offering the drop here.
While the Head Start Twitch Drop is running today, we’ll be pausing the cosmetic Twitch Drops (including the Rizzy Kitty pet) until Stormgate is released to Early Access at 10am Pacific on August 13. Afterwards, the cosmetic Twitch Drops will continue to run until the end of the month.
