“We recently made the difficult decision to remove the Twitch app from Nintendo Switch,” said Twitch representative Gabriella Raila, in a statement.
“Nintendo remains a valued partner and we appreciate all the support the Switch community has given Twitch and our streamers,” he added.
Meanwhile, the IGN page reported that the deletion was carried out amid rumors that the Nintendo Switch 2 would arrive in 2024.
Twitch did not elaborate on its decision to remove the app on Nintendo Switch.
Elsewhere, the Switch continues to support popular apps like YouTube, but excludes big apps like Netflix.
The lack of support for major services has been a point of contention for Nintendo fans since the platform was released. (theverge/ant/jpnn)
