How To Change Your Twitch Account Via PS4

Twitch and PS4 have one thing in common – games. They are two platforms that offer entertainment services to their users. Due to the recent cross-connection between platforms, it is possible to log in to your Twitch account on PS4 (PlayStation Four). This enables you to share your activity, game success, and experience on PS4.

You can also enjoy Twitch streams on PS4 by downloading the Twitch app on the PlayStation Store. Since you can link Twitch and PS4, this article will guide you on how to change your Twitch account via PS4.

Twitch and PS4

Twitch is a development of Twitch Interactive, which is under Amazon parenthood. On the other hand, the PS4 is part of the PlayStation Network, a provision of Sony Interactive Entertainment. PS4 is popularly known as a gaming console, while Twitch is a video game streaming platform. You can stream the game live on Twitch (say, Fifa 20) that is happening on PS4. These platforms are intertwined, and a PS4 gamer is likely to have a Twitch account.

Both Twitch and PS4 are great developments in the world of entertainment.
