Twitch has announced a new emote reward for reaching Hype Train level 106 a day after Thor "Pirate Software" made a new record. For those who are unaware, only last week the Amazon-owned company introduced rewards for those who can reach level 100, but Thor and his community smashed that milestone, surpassing that by six levels.
Pirate Software got a Hype Train to level 106 in three hours with 54K gifted subscriptions and more than eight million bits being donated. The streamer was wearing a yellow fruit costume while doing it, and to commemorate that, Twitch has introduced the 'DidIBreakIt' emote featuring Thor in that very costume as a reward that anyone can get if they reach level 106.
As such, members of his community who participated in the event will also be retroactively given the emote.
Hype Trains are a core feature on the platform that have been around for years at this point. A sudden increase in community donations on a channel starts off the event, and the levels measure the amount of subscriptions, Hype Chats, and bits being donated to the streamer.
Twitch recently added more rewards for the higher levels, reaching all the way to level 100 which would unlock the 'kappainfinity' emote for global use for the participants. But Pirate Software's Hype Train yesterday hit out of the park and not only smashed that milestone but reached six more levels.
When Pirate Software crossed the 100-level threshold, the reward system of the website reached a "rate limit" which even caused the streamer to make a post on X explaining why some of the viewers were not being awarded the Kappainfinity emote on time.
Now, to commemorate the achievement of reaching level 106, Twitch has introduced another reward higher than Kappainfinity.
