Gameloft’s ‘Asphalt 8’ is Getting In App Twitch Streaming, So They’re Streaming Asphalt 8 For 24 Hours

Remember a while back when we posted about Twitch streaming coming directly to iOS devices in any game that adds the new mobile Twitch SDK? Well, Gameloft’s Asphalt 8 (Free) is going to be one of the first games to support it. I’m super interested to see how this turns out, as it eliminates all the barriers to streaming specific iOS games, as all you need is a decent WiFi network, but it remains to be seen if the typical mobile play session will be conducive to the kind of stream that seems to do well on Twitch.

For instance, channels that seem to do really well are League of Legends streamers who stream for hours versus your typical mobile game play session which might only last for minutes. I’m not sure how the Twitch community will take to it, but Gameloft seems to be willing to prove that it’s possible to stream Asphalt forever with a 24 hour streaming marathon which started a few minutes ago:

The Asphalt 8 update should hit inside of the next couple weeks, at which point you can stream it to for similar 24 hour sessions.
