Asmongold Announces Multistreaming Plan with Kick and X
Popular Twitch streamer Asmongold has revealed a new multistreaming plan, which will see him broadcasting on both Kick and Twitch, while working closely with Elon Musk’s platform X to improve its livestreaming capabilities. The news was announced on May 31, 2025, and has generated significant interest in the gaming and esports communities.
According to a report from SI.com, Asmongold, who boasts 3.6 million Twitch followers and 3.67 million YouTube subscribers, has been in discussions with X employees about collaborating on the platform’s livestreaming services. In a May 27 stream, Asmongold revealed that he had spoken with an X employee and offered to dedicate 20 hours a week to streaming on the platform, stating, "I could probably give them […] 20 hours a week." He also expressed his willingness to work with the company to improve its livestreaming services for free, saying, "I just think it’s better for the platform, it’s better for everybody, and so I’d just do it for free."
Elon Musk, the owner of X, responded positively to Asmongold’s offer, saying "Ok, let’s give it a shot." Asmongold has since announced that he will begin multistreaming on Monday, June 2, and plans to elaborate on the stream’s details and what platforms it will appear on in an upcoming live stream.
As SI.com reports, Asmongold has already tested the multistreaming software and has a "foundation" in mind for his endeavors. He plans to send this plan to Elon Musk or an X contact in the upcoming "few days." In addition, he plans to launch a website for his streaming efforts.
The move is seen as a significant development in the streaming landscape, with Asmongold becoming one of the first major streamers to multistream on multiple platforms. Twitch has long been the dominant player in the streaming market, but competition has been increasing in recent years. YouTube has invested heavily in its YouTube Gaming efforts, while Kick has gained popularity with its looser moderation policies.
As noted by SI.com, platforms are often looking to secure market space by entering partnership contracts with high-profile streamers, which often include exclusivity clauses limiting them to one platform. However, with more streamers embracing multistreaming on several sites, this offer is losing some appeal.
X has been increasing its streaming efforts in recent years, offering livestreams and courting gamers like VALORANT’s famed Jett main Demon1 to participate. Asmongold’s arrival will secure another major partnership for X, and his streaming suggestions could make the platform more intuitive to gaming and esports culture.
While some critics may point to low view numbers as a measure of the experiment’s success, the agreement is, at least on the surface, about improving the platform rather than drawing in viewers. As SI.com notes, in theory, this project could result in more streamers wanting to stream on X rather than just bringing over Asmon’s Twitch audience.
The partnership between Asmongold and X has the potential to bring significant benefits to the platform, and it will be interesting to see how it develops in the coming weeks and months. As the streaming landscape continues to evolve, one thing is certain – Asmongold’s multistreaming plan is a move that could have far-reaching implications for the industry as a whole.
