MultiVersus
About the Project
The MultiVersus Twitch extension was part of the launch strategy for the free-to-play fighting game MultiVersus by WB Games. We aimed to create a new feature for a Twitch extension: in-extension lobbies and matchmaking. The extension will grow and evolve alongside the game throughout seasons.
The Extension
This extension had three key elements: player stats, Twitch lobby matchmaking, and viewer rewards.
The player stats portion of the extension gave viewers insights into everyone in a match: the Twitch streamer and everyone they are fighting against or with. Twitch audiences could see: rank, match win rate, and more about the player. In addition, they could also see who each player was fighting with, their level with that fighter, and any perks equipped.

Twitch Matchmaking
Twitch matchmaking allows streamers to open a lobby in-game and have their viewers join their custom match. Viewers connected their Twitch and WB Games account to the extension and were able to join a queue. Streamers select viewers from the queue to add to the custom match. This allowed streamers to play and engage directly with their audience.
Thanks to the account linking required to make matchmaking work, we were also able to reward viewers. We could let them know seasonal rewards were available and drop the rewards directly into their MultiVersus account once they clicked to claim them.
