Popular Twitch streamer Trainwreck has revealed the release date of the mobile app for his Twitch and YouTube competitor platform Kick, expected to launch early next month. The site first debuted last month as a new streaming platform acting as an alternative to Twitch and YouTube, promising a better experience for its creators. Trainwreck first revealed he would be moving away from Twitch and onto Kick late last year in a "non-owner advisor" role with the platform. Now, the mobile app for the hot new streaming platform is gearing up for a launch soon.The arrival of Kick has seen other big streamers on Twitch start to take notice of the platform following Trainwreck's departure. Adin Ross has been among the biggest streamers to fully confirm a full move to Kick, though other top talents have reportedly considered making the switch. XQc would not rule out a potential move to Kick in the future while others like Asmongold have praised the streaming site for not requiring exclusivity from its top streamers. With creators buzzing, Kick is set to get another major boost with the launch of its mobile app next month. A new update from Trainwreck on Friday morning has revealed that Kick has officially set a projected release date for its mobile app within the coming weeks. The emphatic tweet from the streamer revealed Kick's mobile app is estimated to be ready for launch next week on March 3. The launch of a mobile app for Kick has been highly requested by fans of the platform, helping it to compete with other platforms like Twitch and YouTube on mobile. Trainwreck also confirmed in a different tweet that Kick is looking to make its way to consoles as well.
While fans of Trainwreck will be excited to watch his Kick streams on mobile devices, the streamer's success with Kick comes after plenty of controversy surrounding his Twitch departure. Trainwreck was a major figure in the drama surrounding Twitch's ban on gambling late last year as one of the top streamers using gambling sites like Stake.com. Trainwreck also found himself embroiled in more controversy after accusing several top Twitch streamers of viewbotting on the platform.
Kick has gained plenty of momentum as a rival streaming app since the start of 2023 alongside the upcoming mobile app launch. Trainwreck and Kick revealed the site's Creator Program last month with both small and large streamers on the platform receiving an hourly wage to livestream on the site. Kick also signed its first major partnership with F1 team Alfa Romeo and has other large creators like Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed rumored to be moving to Kick. With top talents moving to the platform and a mobile app debuting soon, Kick is primed to make major waves in the streaming space.
