Twitch ends free karaoke game Twitch Sings – IT Pro – News after less than two years

Twitch Sings, the karaoke game from streaming website Twitch.tv where streamers and their subscribers can sing songs together, will be discontinued on January 1. The Amazon subsidiary’s service was introduced less than two years ago.

As of December 1, the site will start removing saved videos from Twitch Sings. That process was completed on January 1. If you want to be sure that your footage is preserved, you must have a backup of everything before December 1. From the wording of Twitch also seems to indicate that larger broadcasts that include Twitch Sings segments are also being removed.

The game was developed by Harmonix, which made Rock Band and its many variants in the past, and was released in the second half of 2018. Singers were represented in-game by their webcam stream on a big screen in the virtual concert hall, or by a three-dimensional avatar on the stage. Besides duets, the game also has the option to request and it can be played on PC, iOS and Android.

Before the lights go out for Twitch Sings, the Amazon subsidiary gives according to Eurogamer still 400 new songs available to play in the last four months.
