Twitch Partners With Ubisoft And HYPER SCAPE For The First Twitch Rivals Event In Asia-Pacific

Today, Ubisoft announced a partnership with Twitch to host the ‘Twitch Rivals : Hyper Scape APAC Showdown’ on Thursday, August 27. The event will be the first cross-region event held in the Asia-Pacific region, inviting 60 creators from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong to participate.
