Beginning today, the free Showgunners Steam demo introduces a unique feature that enables the crowd to affect the experience: Twitch mode*! Through this mode, Twitch streamers can invite their viewers to personally participate in a chaotic battle across multiple maps that showcase varying scopes and levels of environment interactivity. But, with their active participation, will the spectators aid streamers or send them to an ultimate demise?

Contestants in a dystopian future seek fame and glory as they battle heavily armed opponents in an arena broadcast live-streamed by the masses. Unique themes, traps and challenges await contestants who will have to explore for life-saving sponsorship packages and outwit especially devious surprises from the show's director in order to become the next champ.

  • Survive the Future of Entertainment: Face off against fierce rivals outfitted with heavy weapons and cyborg augments, but watch out for surprise traps and twists from the show’s director, who’s more than willing to throw out the rules to boost ratings for his corporate overlords!
