Beginning today and continuing over the next week, roughly 50 games and "related in-game content" will be made available for purchase through Twitch, with titles including For Honor, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Smite, Tyranny, Atlas Reactor, Broken Age, Firewatch, and Warframe. Purchases can be made from live Twitch channels or a game's 'details' page, and can be ed and played through either the Twitch Desktop App or publisher-run services like Uplay.
A Twitch Crate will be awarded with every purchase of $5 or more, and Twitch will hold a weekly "Twitch Crates Gear Giveaway" draw throughout April as well, with a grand prize of more than $500 worth of streaming equipment. (You can also go for a "no purchase required" entry right here.) Games available through Twitch are currently only priced in US dollars, but Twitch aims to bring in "localized purchase experiences" soon.
Purchases made through Twitch are fulfilled by Amazon, and it seems to work smoothly enough once your s are connected appropriately; to buy recent history has taught us anything, it's that not everybody plays by the rules.
More information about buying games on Twitch can be found on the Twitch Blog.
