The future of interactive gaming is dropping with HYPER SCAPE

Today Ubisoft surprise announced their game changing brand new battle royale, Hyper Scape, which is now live on Twitch, and already in the hands of hundreds of creators.  Currently Hyper Scape is in a Technical Test Phase. However, if you want to play, Twitch Drops is your way in. To activate Drops, start by linking your Ubisoft & Twitch accounts, and watching Hyper Scape streams on Twitch with Drops enabled. If you’ve done that you are in great shape, but for any additional details check out the FAQ below.

The Battle Royale genre has a lot of amazing titles, but Hyper Scape takes the interactivity on Twitch to the next level. Twitch and Ubisoft have been collaborating to make Hyper Scape as interactive as possible for viewers and creators on Twitch, and during the tech test Viewers will see the first stages of the integration, which includes voting for in-game match modifiers.  

In practice, Creators will be in the middle of a match and a poll will come up for Twitch viewers to interact with. The viewers will begin with a vote between a choice of in-game modifiers, and the selected modifier (Low Gravity, Reveal, or Health, as just a few examples) will be implemented into the streamers match.  There will be more integrations to come and we are excited to see how viewers and creators use them!

Step 1: Link your account 

Only viewers who have linked their Twitch and Ubisoft accounts will be eligible for this drop!

Step 2: Watch Hyper Scape streams on Twitch

Watch streamers with drops enabled for a chance to get access to our Tech Test. Only PC players in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States will be eligible for access to technical test.

Step 3 - Download and Play
