xQc Signs Record-Breaking Streaming Deal with Kick

Popular Twitch streamer xQc has signed a two-year deal with rival platform Kick, which is being touted as the largest streaming deal ever. The exact amount was not revealed, but the contract is worth nine figures. Kick offers higher revenue splits with streamers and claims to offer them a say in the direction the platform goes in. The deal is the first major streaming deal since Microsoft's Mixer platform was shut down, and it shows that competition between streaming platforms to secure the biggest stars is back on.
