Overwolf Acquires CurseForge from Twitch

Expands from In-Game Apps into Helping Mod Authors Evolve with Tools, Technology, and Monetization
Overwolf, the all-in-one platform that enables creators to build, distribute, and monetize in-game apps, announced their acquisition of CurseForge from Twitch. This strategic business move marks Overwolfâs aggressive expansion in the market beyond in-game apps into game mods, and positions the company as the category leader.
With over 30,000 creators and a library of over 90,000 game mods and apps, Overwolf’s mission is to be the home for in-game creators, who develop amazing experiences that enhance games and improve performance for the gamer. Overwolf has successfully supported the growth of professional developers in their pursuit of building incredible apps. Overwolf is dedicated to helping in-game creators earn a living, and this same level of commitment will now be transferred to mod authors by providing the technology, community, and resources to take professional in-game creation to new levels. The CurseForge mod manager for gamers will transition away from the Twitch client, and will become a standalone desktop app, as part of Overwolfâs offering of apps. Tools and services around building and uploading mods will remain unaffected.
âWeâve been deeply impressed by the level of passion and collaboration in the CurseForge modding community,â said Tim Aldridge, Director of Engineering, Gaming Communities at Twitch. âCurseForge is an incredible asset for both creators and gamers. We are confident that the CurseForge community will thrive under Overwolfâs leadership, thanks to their commitment to empowering developers.â
Overwolf is committed to helping mod authors build, distribute and better monetize their products. The company believes that in-game creators, who consistently build amazing products used by gamers around the globe, should be recognized and rewarded for what they do by making a fair living off their work. As part of its mission to always put creators first, Overwolf has pledged to pay CurseForge mod authors 50% more by 2022, while not disrupting their current revenue streams.

âCurseForge is the embodiment of how fostering a community of creators around games generates value for both players and game developers,â said Uri Marchand, Overwolf CEO. âAs we move to onboard mods onto our platform, weâre positioning Overwolf as the industry standard for building in-game creations.”
