The company will start testing the feature with a small amount of channels this summer and expanding it later this year.

TWITCH also introduces an “2K Streaming” (which allows creators in 1440 pixels) that will be available to all Twitch partners and subsidiaries. “The upgrade to 2K (1440p) provides a remarkable step of 1080 pixels, with richer details, improved clarity, and better performance – whether you play or make art or chat only.” Nashlal support page. Before now, the feature was available in beta more limited.

The platform offers a way to return the flows as well. This may be really useful if you miss something while it is on the air or just want to return and watch something. Twitch will first experience the feature with a small number of viewers this summer.
