An official Twitch app for Apple TV is on the way. Popular live game streaming service Twitch has launched a public beta of its upcoming Apple TV app through TestFlight. The Twitch app for Apple TV offers the same features found on the iOS and Mac apps, this includes live streaming, chat support, and more.

The main homepage of the Twitch app allows you to scroll through popular games and popular channels. You can also navigate to the Browse TAB to get a closer look at popular games and how many viewers each title has. Once you pick a game, you can see live channels, popular recorded videos, and popular clips, including live Thursday Night NFL Games, so this news isn't necessarily just for videogame fans. 

Here's the full description fo the app from Twitch:

There's no word on when Twitch will be ready for official release on the tvOS App Store, but presumably the more users that get involved in the beta, the sooner any bugs will be ironed out and it'll be ready for launch.
