    Colin Kaepernick Talks Wild Card Football – Launching Today

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Hey everyone–Colin Kaepernick here, and I’m excited to share with you a bit about my involvement in the creation of Saber’s new Wild Card Football game. What I love most about this game is that it brings together the best of arcade-style gameplay and strategic football, making it a lot of fun  for seasoned fans like me, but also for people who’ve been introduced to the sport more recently. From the moment I got involved with the project I knew this was something special, and I think you’ll feel the same way!

    Why Wild Card Football?

    The answer’s simple: I love the game of football, and I love being part of any effort to get more people interested in it. Wild Card Football brings a fresh twist to the sport we all know and love. From the style to  the game’s unique blend of strategy and its arcade feel–Wild Card is awesome.  It’s not just about replicating the traditional football experience; it’s about taking the game to new heights and making it accessible and fun for everyone.

    My Role in the Game

    My journey with Wild Card Football has been an incredible experience. I’ve had the honor of consulting on gameplay mechanics and providing general game feedback to ensure that it captures the essence of football while adding that signature Playgrounds Sports flair. It’s been a collaborative effort to create a game that is not only exciting but also authentic to the spirit of football.

    Favorite Plays and Power-Ups

    One of the things I love most about the game is that players are able  to pull off some ridiculous jaw-dropping plays that you won’t see on any regular football field. We’ve taken the concept of power-ups to a whole new level here, allowing you to call down UFOs, become a human rocket, grow to a colossal stature or even freeze the defense. There are hundreds of wild cards in the deck you can use to change the game’s momentum in a heartbeat. You’ll need to think strategically about when to deploy your power-ups since they cost energy. Do you use your game-changing ability early or do you save it for a critical moment? The choice is yours.

    A Blend of Styles

    Wild Card Football is a celebration of both the arcade-style football games we grew up loving and the innovation that Playgrounds Sports brings to the table. The game captures the essence of the sport while adding a playful twist that sets it apart from the rest. Whether you’re a fan of traditional football uniforms or you prefer the outlandish outfits inspired by different eras, there’s something for everyone.

  • The NFL on Twitch just got better

    The NFL on Twitch just got better

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Last week thousands of you tuned in to watch the season debut of Thursday Night Football on Twitch*. Chat was fired up, the team emotes were flying, and we hear the game was pretty good too.

    Now we’re excited to announce a new way to let your voice be heard with the TNF Live Extension, two legendary co-streaming Partners who are broadcasting this week’s matchup, and a way to give to charity while also supporting your favorite teams in chat. Let’s get into it.

    The TNF Live Extension

    This season Twitch’s NFL coverage includes a brand new Extension on twitch.tv/primevideo that lets you project how drives will end, who will win, and more. Make the right calls and you can rule the leaderboard and prove that you should be on the sidelines calling the shots. Or at least hold one of those clipboards.

    The Extension also lets you access team stats that are updated live as the game progresses.

    Legendary Co-Streamers

    Last week GoldGlove co-streamed our inaugural broadcast and put his unique spin on the game. This week, we’ve got two more incredible co-streamers lined up.

    First, Hall of Famer and three time Super Bowl champion Shannon Sharpe is bringing his takes to Twitch for his first live NFL co-stream!

    And our very own Twitch legend, TimTheTatman, will also be adding commentary on his own co-stream.

    Cheer for charity

    Cheering for your favorite team, whether you’re in the stands, or yelling at your screen is one of the best parts about being a fan. Now it can also be a way to show support of a good cause. This October, during all our Thursday Night Football broadcasts, for every 100 bits cheered on twitch.tv/primevideo, Twitch will donate $1 to the American Cancer Society. So make your voice heard and cheer like crazy for whoever you’re supporting.

    Check out the TNF Live Extension and legendary co-streamers this week when the Colts visit the Patriots tomorrow at 8:20pm ET.

    * Also available on FOX, NFL Network, and Prime Video on Thursdays at 8:20pm ET.

    We’re teaming up with Prime Video to air two upcoming NFL football games on Twitch, no Prime membership required.

    It’s a sportsball double-header today on Twitch! If you can’t wait to spam Twitch chat during NBA G-League basketball, you can get started a day early with Thursday Night Football.

    We’re teaming up with Prime Video to air two upcoming NFL football games on Twitch, no Prime membership required.

    Watching the game on Twitch is like hanging out on the world’s biggest couch. Chat is right there with you for every touchdown, every turnover, every questionable call, and every great one. Last week’s broadcast featured a game that came down to the wire, and the fans were out in force. Who other than Twitch Chat could come up with pure poetry like this:

    SPAM THIS CHEESE TO HELP DREW BREES

    Basically it’s kind of like esports… just without the ‘e’.

    Want to see what happens when the Twitch community gets ahold of analog sports?

    Here’s how to tune in:

    Thursday, December 14th

    Channel: twitch.tv/primevideo

    First up, the Denver Broncos take on the Indianapolis Colts in Thursday Night Football. Coverage starts at 7:30 pm Eastern time, and kickoff is at 8:25.

    After the game, stick around for a sneak peek at Jean-Claude Van Johnson, a new Prime Original that asks the question: 
    “What if Jean-Claude Van Damme — yes, THAT Jean-Claude Van Damme — was, in fact, a secret agent?”

    Prime users can start binge watching Season 1 on Friday, but anyone with an Amazon account can check out the first episode this Thursday on Twitch after Thursday Night Football.
