Sony partners with Twitch to broadcast from Xperia devices
June 14, 2025
Gaming is a key part of Sony’s broader strategy and the company has been gradually integrating gaming features with its Xperia line-up of smartphones and tablets. The latest development seesSonypartner up withTwitch, a popular video streaming platform focused on gaming.
Sony has developed an app that brings in-device broadcasting to your Android device, allowing you to stream your Android games directly to your Twitch audience. With over 35 millionTwitch mobile appinstalls alone, there are plenty of people watching out there.
However, the app will only be available for Sony’s latest handsets, the Xperia Z3+, Xperia Z4, Xperia Z4v and the Xperia Z4 Tablet. Unfortunately, we don’t know if Sony will be brining the service to other handsets in the future.
This isn’t actually the first time that Sony has teamed up with a big video partner for live streaming. The same application already works with a Youtube account. Essentially, the app uploads your Xperia screen in real time to either Youtube or Twitch.
In a previous effort to win over gamers, Sony introduced WiFi network streaming to its Xperia flagship line-up, which it callsRemote Play. This allows Playstation 4 owners to stream and play their console games on their Sony Android device over their home WiFi network.
The Live Screen Streaming app is available todownload from the Google Play Storefor free. If you’re keen to see what Twitch is all about, be sure to check out theofficial Android Authority channel, hosted by our very own Joe Hindy.
