Apex Legends is partnering with Twitch to offer an exclusive package for Twitch Prime subscribers, featuring a purple Pathfinder skin as well as Apex Packs.

Apex Legends can attribute at least part of its staggering success to Twitch, where the battle royal game overtook Fortnite as the most popular game. To celebrate that success, Twitch Prime and Respawn have partnered to offer some items for Apex Legends players and subscribers. Current Twitch Prime subscribers can now log-in, connect their EA account to their Twitch account, and earn a limited-availability Apex Legends Twitch Prime Pack.

After linking their Twitch and EA accounts, players will be able to load up Apex Legends and see their items, which include 5 standard Apex Packs and an exclusive Legendary Omega Point Pathfinder skin. The Apex Legends Twitch Prime pack is similar in size and style to previous packs offered for both Fortnite's battle royale and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

For Apex Legends players that play across multiple platforms, be careful. Only the first platform in which you log into Apex Legends after claiming the loot bundle will have the content available. Maybe Respawn will implement cross-platform accounts and merging eventually, but not yet.

Today's Twitch Prime Apex Legends loot bundle isn't solely celebrating the battle royale's success on the platform, however. Today is also the date of Twitch's second Twitch Rivals tournament. Eight teams of three players will queue for online matches for four hours straight, accruing points for each kill and victory. The winner is the team that's amassed the most points by the end of four hours, earning a healthy portion of the $100,000 prize pool for the North American tournament.

This is the second Apex Legends Twitch tournament and the third highly publicized event. The first tournament was won by Apex Legends' up and coming pro Dizzy, along with fellow NRG team member King Richard, and Ninja. Unfortunately, it seems like Twitch Rivals is trying to inject some new blood in the Apex Legends tournament scene by picking mostly new faces.

Instead, a lot of non-battle royale streamers will be joining in the fun. For example, League of Legends retired player Imaqtpie and YouTuber Jacksepticeye will both have teams. We'll know how seriously they play Apex Legends by whether they're wearing the new Pathfinder skin.

Apex Legends is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
