Online personality Darren Watkins Jr., known as IShowSpeed, said he will resume streaming on Amazon-owned Twitch on 7 July after a two-year ban from the platform dating back to 2021. He plans to simultaneously broadcast on Alphabet’s YouTube, where he has continued to build an audience of millions, as part of his “Europe Tour Part 2.” The 19-year-old streamer updated and re-verified his Twitch profile ahead of the return, indicating that the broadcasts will run in parallel across both services under a multi-streaming format that Twitch began permitting in 2023. The tour is scheduled to start in France and include several in-person events across Europe. French-language outlets have reported, without official confirmation, that Watkins has negotiated a contract with Twitch valued at several hundred million dollars over two years. Neither Twitch nor the streamer has commented on the terms. If confirmed, the deal would rank among the largest individual agreements in the live-streaming industry.
