Hey everyone!
Here we have prepared a quick FAQ and some guidelines on how the Twitch Drops, related to the Closed Beta, works.
HOW TO REDEEM THE TWITCH DROPS
From September 7th to the 18th, you can watch select creators' Twitch streams for 30 minutes and get dropped a key for multiplayer-only access to the game, redeemable via Games2Gether.
This is separate from the "Buddy Pass" initiative, which two extra free multiplayer accesses to the Closed Beta to players who purchase the Last Wish Edition on Steam (More info HERE)
In order to claim access you will need to link your profile to the different platforms.
- Go to your Account Settings > Connections
- Connect Twitch
- Connect Steam
This will be the bridge between Twitch and your library on Steam. Without this, you will not be able to claim the Twitch Drop successfully.
This is the easy part...
You will need to watch only 30 minutes of any of the content creators who will be participating with us.
Above you can see some of the Content Creators and the estimated times of their respective streamings (BST Time Zone)
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list! We will try and keep you updated as we keep adding more creators.
Here more Content Creators
But there is a way to check if the stream has the drops or not...
- Streamers tend to have the tag "Drops Enabled" on Twitch
- Once you enter the stream, if the drops are working you will see a notification on the upper side of the stream chat
Okay, you just finished the 30 minutes and are able to claim the reward. What's next?
- Go to your Drop Inventory on Twitch
- There you will be able to see the drop, "Buddy Pass access"
- Here, if you haven't done the Step 1, this is the moment. Please see above.
- Click on "Claim"
Once is "Claimed" you will need to wait some minutes, around 15 minutes, so the system checks everything.
You will notice that you will have a notification on the Rewards page. There you will be able to redeem the Twitch drop.
Most likely If you kept reading, it could be that you encountered some troubles?
