New Features for NAIC: The Pokémon Twitch Extension Gets a Major Upgrade

As one of the most-watched competitive card games on Twitch, the Pokémon Trading Card Game deserves a Twitch extension that’s as fast, detailed, and strategic as the matches themselves. That’s why, just in time for NAIC (Pokémon North America International Championships), we’ve rolled out a series of powerful updates to the Pokémon Twitch Extension to give viewers more insight than ever before.

TCG+ Integration Enhancements

We’ve deepened our integration with Pokémon TCG+, streamlining how the extension syncs and displays live match data. This ensures real-time accuracy and gives viewers the confidence that what they’re seeing on-screen reflects the actual state of play.

Card Details and Enhanced Viewing

One of the most requested features is here:

• Featured Card Detail Pane: When a card becomes a key focus of the broadcast, viewers now see a persistent, expandable panel with full card information, including effects and rulings.

• Full Card View on Mouseover: Every visible tile in the bench now supports mouseover to view the full card art and text. No more guessing what’s on the field.

• Prize Card Reveal on Mouseover: Want to know what just flipped from the prize pool? Now you can. A simple hover shows which card was revealed, keeping the action readable and responsive.

Card History Gets Context

In fast-paced matches, it’s easy to lose track of the card flow. That’s why we’ve added timestamps to every card in the history panel. Now viewers can follow exactly when each card entered play, giving better context to key turning points in the game and preventing missed action.

Mobile Support Expanded

We’ve updated mobile functionality, so you can see bench, featured, prize, and stadium cards on your device. Whether you’re watching from your desk or the tournament floor, the full extension experience now travels with you.

Don’t Miss a Moment with Closed Captioning

Getting ready for Pokémon Worlds, we’ve made the Pokémon Twitch extension more accessible by adding subtitles. The new feature covers the following languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Brazilian Portuguese. Whether you’re watching in a noisy bar or your quiet room now you’ll be able to follow every step of the action.

Better Insight, Deeper Engagement

These improvements continue our mission to make high-level competitive TCG play more accessible and engaging for everyone watching. Whether you’re a new fan learning the ropes or a seasoned player studying the meta, these updates give you the tools to track, learn, and enjoy the action like never before.
