Twitch partners Disney in gaming content deal

January 23, 2018

Social video service Twitch has struck a partnership with Disney Digital Network to bring exclusive content from four of the largest Disney-managed digital content creators.

The creators, Jacksepticeye, LuzuGames, Markiplier, and Strawburry17 will manage their own channels on Twitch where they will broadcast live and create exclusive video-on-demand content as part of a multi-year partnership.

While some of these creators have existing Twitch channels, most of the new and exclusive content will debut beginning today.

Jacksepticeye

With more than 8 billion views and over 17 million subscribers on his popular video channel, Sean McLoughlin, aka Jacksepticeye, is one of the most recognizable names in digital video. Though initially popular for his “let’s play” videos, Jack has diversified his formats which now include vlogging, sketches, music, and animated shorts. Jack has hosted the gaming awards at South by Southwest, as well as the Disney Games Showcase at D23 in July 2017. He has leveraged his popularity to promote philanthropic projects, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities such as Crisis Text Line, RED, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and Save the Children. Jack has recently expanded his business to include his recent sold out US Tour in October 2017. Twitch channel: Twitch.tv/Jacksepticeye.

Markiplier

Mark Fischbach, known by his username Markiplier, is an American internet personality with more than 19 million subscribers. Mark uploads videos of him and his friends playing and commenting on video games. He specializes in Let’s Play gameplay commentary videos and indie games, but has recently diversified into highly-produced skits and even an international tour with some of his close friends.

Meghan started Strawburry17 in 2007 making random videos and music videos with her younger brother David.

Most recently, Meghan co-hosted Disney XD’s Polaris Primetime show, which premiered in July 2017. Twitch channel: Twitch.tv/Strawburry17plays.

With one of the most viewed Spanish-speaking channels, LuzuGames commands an audience throughout Spain and Latin America. With the launch of his English-speaking channel, Luzu, he continues to grow his audience and bring his entertaining content to more and more people around the globe. The man behind the games, Luzu, is originally from Spain and boasts an audience comprised of teens and young adults.
