Twitch can finally broadcast any smartphone game — but only on Sony handsets

You should check out live video of my sick DomiNations skills — and you could do just that if I owned certain Sony-branded smartphones.

The Japanese technology conglomerate Sony and Twitch are announcing today that people who own a Xperia Z3+ or Xperia Z4 can start broadcasting live gameplay of any game on their phones to the Twitch website. It will also work on the Xperia Z4v once it launches later this year. This is a first for Twitch on mobile, which has previously only worked on phones when developers built Twitch software into their iOS releases. Live gameplay video is a booming sector with more 1.5 million people using Twitch to share videos. And mobile is one of the fastest-growing areas of this market. Now, Twitch and Sony are trying to capitalize on that.
