Twitch Sings shuts down on 1st January 2021, Twitch has announced.
The curtain falls on the karaoke game designed for streamers and built by Rock Band developer Harmonix less than two years after it launched in April 2019.
“As we look to the future, we have decided to invest in broader tools and services that will help support and grow the entire music community on Twitch,” Twitch said in a FAQ. “Because of this, we have made the difficult decision to close Twitch Sings on January 1, 2021.
“This community has inspired us with their talent and passion, and we thank you all for what you’ve given to Twitch Sings.”
Twitch said it’ll begin removing Sings videos and clips on 1st December, and then on 1st January the game will stop working. All past broadcasts, uploaded videos, highlights, and clips from Twitch Sings will be removed by 1st January 2021. But to go out with a bang, Twitch is releasing its backlog of more than 400 new songs for all players.
