On June 15, Twitch announced the Partner Plus Program, which will give eligible Twitch partners a 70/30 revenue split, but there are some criteria that need to be met before partners can be upgraded to the new platform. The program launches on October 1, but Twitch partners can work towards eligibility in the meantime. Partners that maintain 350 or more recurring subscriptions per month for three consecutive months will be eligible for the Partner Plus Program for 12 months, starting the following month. In short, Twitch partners that stay at or above that threshold in July, August, and September will be eligible for 12 months of Partner Plus starting in October. However, the 70/30 revenue split will only apply to the first $100,000 of annual revenue, in which case it will return to the current 50/50 split.
However, the recurring subscription quota for Partner Plus does not include gifted subscriptions or Prime Gaming subscriptions, which may put a snag in some streamers' plans for eligibility. While Twitch CEO Dan Clancy was under fire for being out of touch and for not initially backing away from the 50/50 revenue split, response to the Partner Plus Program was met with cautious optimism. While most users agreed that a 70/30 revenue split across the board would be ideal, they saw the Partner Plus Program as a step in the right direction.
