The PlayStation 3 Twitch app has been broken for some time... On March 26, 2018, a Facebook post was made to point out an update to the PlayStation 4 app, however PS3 users are still left in the dust & have to spend their time using other apps because Twitch refuses to fix the app, stating that it is no longer supported on PS3. Numerous attempts have been made over Facebook to bring this to Twitch's attention, none of those attempts ever received a response... Only after I contacted them through their email support system did they even bother to respond to the inquiries as to where the PS3 updates were & this only happened after I started contacting PlayStation through their support forums to see if we could get them to lean on Twitch a bit to get the app fixed. Twitch is still denying their responsibility in fixing the app & stating it is PlayStation's responsibility to remove the app from the store; PlayStation is stating it is the responsibility of Twitch to contact them & state they wish the app to be removed from the store. As of July 2nd, 2018, I decided it was time to start a petition for the purpose of pointing out how many people still use a PlayStation 3, how many people got stiffed by Twitch's decision to drop support for it & how much advertisement revenue they are potentially losing by leaving the app broken (that revenue going to other services that still support the PS3 console system).

The persistent silence from the development team confirms their current stance on legacy hardware. I am currently working to escalate this issue toward contacts who have more oversight regarding app maintenance. Please continue to document your experiences with the application in the comments section.

The consistent growth of this petition shows that a significant number of people still value access to this platform on their legacy hardware. This momentum confirms that our request for a functional application remains both relevant and necessary.

Follow several live feeds on my PlayStation 3 now what are we suppose to do. I can't afford a computer this is really rotten.
Please, fix the Twitch App on PS3. I can't watch any stream on my TV, It stuck on black loading screen. PS3 Super Slim CECH-4008A.
I use my ps3 primarily to watch TV with my girlfriend, usually netflix or youtube (and previously twitch). Although I can still watch Twitch on my PC, it's a lot less convenient since it isn't connected to my TV, and therefore difficult to watch with someone. As a result, I watch less Twitch than I used to.
It would be nice to get an official statement, or for them to just remove the app. It’s frustertating to be teased by its existence.
Been broken for several months, it's disgusting they updated the PS4 app & left this one in the dust, the YouTube app has become the common replacement seeing as they won't fix it...
How lazy can you be? these simps must be too busy watching hot tub and "asmr" streams
I really need this fixed to join games, like Jackbox.

For those of you who signed this petition, give yourselves a pat on the back, it appears the PS3 Twitch app has finally been fixed (after roughly 2 years) & we wouldn't have gotten there if not for your help & voices.
