Back in 2011, when Twitch was born as a platform for gamers, no one imagined it would turn into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Fast-forward to 2025, and Twitch has become not only a home for gaming but also a hub for lifestyle, music, education, and even casual “study with me” streams. With more than 8 million active streamers each month and an audience of 35+ million daily visitors, the platform is still growing despite rising competition from YouTube Live, TikTok, and Kick. For newcomers, the big question remains: Is it still worth starting a Twitch channel in 2025? The answer is yes, but only if you approach it with the right mindset, tools, and strategies. This guide will walk you through how to get started, how much money you can realistically earn, and what viewers are actually looking for right now.

A New Era for Football Gaming When EA Sports announced in 2022 that its long-running partnership with FIFA was ending, the football gaming world held its breath. After 30 years of “FIFA” branding, the series rebranded as EA Sports FC in 2023. The first entry, FC 24, was a cautious step forward; FC 25 refined the formula but still felt like it was finding its feet. Now, EA Sports FC 26 arrives with more confidence, a sharper identity, and a commitment to player-driven improvements. This year, EA has focused less on flashy gimmicks and more on refining the fundamentals: smarter AI, a reworked gameplay flow, deeper Career Mode, and more inclusive Ultimate Team features. Set for release on September 26, 2025, FC 26 will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Amazon Luna. It aims to deliver the most authentic and customizable football experience in the series’ history.
