Move over, Fortnite. Mihoyo has opened up the Genshin Impact Partner Program for Twitch streamers.
The Chinese game company behind the smash hit RPG said it launched the partner program in order to provide support to Genshin Impact Twitch streamers, noting it plans to offer more high-quality content tutorials and additional opportunities for collaboration. Mihoyo intends to expand its pool of participating streamers, offer monthly rewards as well as occasional merchandise prizes, create an exclusive Discord channel, and offer streamers more opportunities to extend the reach of their platforms, among other things.
All streamers are encouraged to apply, but there are some rules they need to be mindful of during to application process. First and foremost, you need to have a Twitch channel with Genshin Impact broadcasts already available. You'll also need 3,000 followers or more.
Mihoyo is also asking participants to be careful about what they're hosting during their broadcasts. The content of your Twitch channel must not include anything that involves pornography, politics, war, violence, or other content strictly prohibited on Twitch, especially content involving copyright infringement. If your channel does not comply with those rules, you will be disqualified from the program.
Twitch streamers who want to apply for the Genshin Impact Partner Program can fill out this form. Mihoyo is keeping the application open until October 26 and notes it should take around 15 days to evaluate entries after submission.
Mihoyo picked the perfect time to start a partner program for Twitch streamers who are fans of the Breath of the Wild-style RPG. Their version 2.2 update for Genshin Impact, christened "Into the Perilous Labyrinth of Fog," will go live tomorrow, and it will come with the last of the six islands of Inazuma, including Tsurumi Island, a new playable character named Thoma, and loads of new challenges and mini-games.
