Link Your Twitch & RSI Accounts
To start earning Twitch Drops, you’ll need to link your Twitch account to your existing RSI account. This only takes a few minutes and ensures your earned rewards are delivered directly to your Hangar.

Here’s how to link your accounts:

1. Go to your RSI Account Settings:

Log in to the RSI website.

Open your Account Dashboard.

Click Settings, then select Linked Accounts.

2. Link your Twitch account:

In Linked Accounts settings, you’ll see options such as Google and Twitch.

Click the Twitch button which will redirect you to the Twitch login page.

Log in to your Twitch account and authorize the connection when prompted.

Once linked, you can now watch any Star Citizen stream with Drops enabled to start earning rewards.

FAQ
1. What are Twitch Drops?
Twitch Drops are rewards that players can earn by watching participating Twitch streams. When you link your Star Citizen account to your Twitch account and watch any eligible Star Citizen stream for 4 hours, you’ll automatically unlock in-game items as rewards. Once you meet the watch-time requirement, your reward will appear in your Twitch inventory and can then be claimed to your Star Citizen account.

2. What are the Drops for this campaign?
For this campaign, the featured reward is the Tailwind “Murray Cup” Set, which includes:

Tailwind Helmet Murray Cup

Tailwind Flight Suit Murray Cup

3. How long will the current campaign last?
This Drops campaign runs alongside DefenseCon 2956, May 14 through May 27. Make sure to tune in to eligible streams before the campaign closes.

4. How do I participate?
To participate, you need to link your Twitch and RSI accounts (see above for instructions).

Then watch any Star Citizen live stream marked “Drops Enabled.”

Once you’ve watched for 4 hours, claim your Drop on Twitch. It will appear in your RSI Hangar shortly after.

5. Which live streams count toward earning Drops?
You can watch any Star Citizen stream on Twitch that has "Drops Enabled" to make progress toward your reward. Starting May 14, with the launch of DefenseCon 2956, any community streamer who chooses to opt in to Twitch Drops will be eligible to host the campaign and have their viewers earn rewards.

6. How can I check my progress or claim a Drop?
You can track your progress on the Twitch Drops Inventory page while logged in to your Twitch account.

When your watch-time goal is complete, click “Claim” on Twitch to receive the Drop.

7. Do I need Twitch Prime to be eligible?
No. You don’t need Twitch Prime or Prime Gaming. A regular Twitch account linked to your RSI account is all you need to participate.

8. Can I unlink or relink my Twitch account?
Yes. You can unlink your Twitch account anytime from your RSI Account Settings under Linked Accounts. To relink, simply repeat the connection process shown above.

9. Can I link multiple Twitch accounts to one RSI account, or multiple RSI accounts to one Twitch account?
No. Each RSI account can be linked to only one Twitch account, and vice versa. If you want to connect to a different account, you’ll need to unlink the previous account first.

10. My Drop didn’t appear in my RSI account. What should I do?
First, make sure you:

Linked the correct Twitch and RSI accounts.

Watched streams while logged in to the linked Twitch account.

Claimed the Drop on Twitch.

Are logging into the correct RSI account.

If the Drop still hasn’t appeared after a while but it is showing that it has unlocked on Twitch, please contact Player Support for assistance.
